❗ Why Do Diabetic Patients Lose Limbs?
Diabetes can damage:
1.Nerves → Loss of sensation (you don’t feel wounds)
2.Blood vessels → Poor circulation & slow healing
3.Immunity → Infections spread faster
➡ A small wound can turn into a serious infection if ignored.
⚠️ Warning Signs – Don’t Ignore
1.Non-healing wound or ulcer
2.Black or darkened skin
3.Swelling, redness, pus
4.Foul smell from wound
5.Numbness or tingling
6.Fever with foot pain
👉 Consult a doctor immediately
🩺 Can Amputation Be Prevented?
✅ YES – if treated early!
1.Regular foot check-ups
2.Early wound care
3.Good blood sugar control
4.Proper footwear
5.Timely medical attention
🦿 If Amputation Is Needed…
Life doesn’t stop. Rehabilitation starts.
1.Proper wound healing & stump care
2.Physiotherapy
3.Early prosthetic fitting
4.Regain walking & independence
