Diabetic Foot

India is achieving the dubious distinction of being labeled as the diabetic capital of the world. Previously it was a post-retirement problem; now a days many young men and women are getting affected. Apart from the other organs, the important part of the human body affected is the legs and foot. This leads to severe morbidity affecting his earning capacity and frequent courses of medical treatment.
