Frequently Asked Questions

As a diabetic, when should I consult a vascular physician?

All diabetics with more than 10 years of diagnosis should have an evaluation by a peripheral vascular surgeon. All the more so for those with foot deformities, loss of sensibility, pain and skin lesions that are difficult to heal, such as ulcers.

What are the types of diabetic foot?

There are mainly two types of diabetic foot: the neuropathic foot and the ischemic foot.

The neuropathic foot is characterized by loss of sensation, while the ischemic foot arises from poor circulation and lack of adequate blood flow.

Both types can present serious complications if not treated in time.

What is the treatment of diabetic foot?

Treatment for diabetic foot is primarily preventive and focuses on comprehensive management of diabetes and meticulous care of the feet, restoringcirculation through endovascular therapy.

In cases of ulcers or infections, more specific treatments such as debridement, antibiotics or even surgery may be required.

How does the diabetic foot start?

Diabetic foot usually begins with loss of sensation in the feet due to diabetic neuropathy, a common complication of diabetes.

This means that small wounds, cuts or grazes may not be detected in time, leading to infections or ulcers that, without proper care, could quickly worsen.
