Abstract:

Diabetes mellitus increases the risk for disorders that result in more frequent hospitalizations, longer in-patient stays, and increased morbidity and mortality.

Diabetic foot wounds are the single greatest cause of nontraumatic amputations. Unfortunately, in both inpatient and outpatient settings, diabetes management is often a secondary consideration when compared with the presenting condition or problem.
