High Diabetes Amputations in Britain
Filed in archive Challenges , Information by Gloria Gamat on July 7, 2008
Statistics in Britain showed that almost 100 diabetes sufferers every week have a limb amputated due to complications with their disease.

More than 2.3 million people in Britain have diabetes and an estimated 500,000 more could be suffering from the condition without realising it. If not managed correctly, the disease can damage the nerves and blood vessels that serve the limbs, eventually making amputation necessary.


Health campaigners are thereby saying that not enough is being done to prevent amputations in diabetes patients.
