However, because of poor circulation, dry skin in extremities, a lack of regular foot checks, and good food habits, foot health needs to be a major point of diabetes management. Between 20 - 25 % of diabetics will consult a doctor at least once in their lifetime for a foot lesion, which is responsible for 25% of hospital days for diabetics. Shockingly, 10% of diabetics will require a limb amputation and more than 4,400 amputations are carried out every year as a result of diabetes in Australia alone.
