Did You Know?
- Nationally, every 20 seconds, someone has a lower extremity amputation (LEA), due to diabetes related complications, such as peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage), peripheral arterial disease (PAD) or both.
- Patients with neuropathy or PAD are vulnerable to developing ulcers on the feet, which if infected and do not heal, can lead to amputations.
- 70% of non-traumatic LEA’s occur in patients with diabetes. Preventable LEA’s, particularly in vulnerable and high-risk populations, is a pervasive issue affecting communities across the country, especially persons of color.
