Abstract:
At least 2% of people with diabetes experience new foot ulcers annually, and one in 400 undergoes amputation. The cost of diabetic foot disease in England is almost 1% of the health service budget. More than 90% of these costs are for ulcer care. It is hoped that knowledge of human and financial costs will increase research effort, clinical attention and compliance with national guidance, to improve ulcer healing rates and reduce amputations.
