Tall Tales of Diabetic Amputations
Diabetes is the leading cause of nontraumatic amputation in developed nations. Lower-limb amputations are particularly common in type 2 diabetes and impose a substantial burden on the patient’s and caregiver’s quality of life, as well as profound economic and health care burdens for the individual and society. Many studies have attempted to outline the risk factors for amputation, and institute modifications to mitigate the risks, but none have been very successful to date. Now, one diabetes researcher is claiming that one risk factor for amputation may not be modifiable at all: the taller the patient is, the higher the amputation risk.
