Diabetic Foot Complications
A Silent Crisis: Every 30 Seconds, a Limb is Lost to Diabetes
Diabetic foot complications have become a major health crisis in Pakistan. Studies reveal that between 12% and 19.5% of diabetics develop foot ulcers, with prevalence rates in some studies exceeding 50%. Without timely intervention, these ulcers can quickly lead to amputation.
Pakistan faces alarmingly high amputation rates of 21% to 48%, one of the highest in the world. The primary causes are peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage), peripheral arterial disease (poor blood flow), and delayed treatment due to financial barriers.
At the Diabetic Association of Pakistan, we are fighting to change these statistics—one foot at a time.
Understanding the Risks
Why Diabetic Foot Ulcers Are a Growing Threat
Peripheral arterial disease impairs blood flow, slowing wound healing and increasing infection risk.
High costs and lack of awareness force patients to delay care until infections become life-threatening.
