Lack of expertise and absence of multi-disciplinary approach to treating complications arising out of diabetic foot is leading to unnecessary amputation of limbs, said experts at a two-day international conference on diabetic foot in Hyderabad.

According to them, 'diabetic foot' -- which develops as ulcers -- is seen among 15% of all diabetics. Half of them, they added, require removal of toe, foot or complete amputation below or above the knee if they do not maintain proper foot hygiene or seek timely medical attention.
