We know that diabetes is a disease that can impact the patient's entire body, spreading complications throughout many physiological systems and debilitating the mental health of those who struggle against it. While diabetes management can take many approaches, it's integral that we recognize the huge impact of diabetic amputations and take steps to prevent them. Diabetic amputations are particularly brutal in the way they impact patients, and they're entirely preventable. Through innovative collaborations and new legislation, we can bring solutions to the forefront and save patients from the tragic cycle and web of diabetic amputations.
