DIABETES
Diabetes can have
debilitating effects on patients’ extremities, especially the
feet. Diabetic foot conditions develop from a combination of causes
including poor circulation and neuropathy. Patients who have developed
diabetic neuropathy are prone to ulcers that may lead to amputations.
The American Diabetes Association reports that 50% - 70% of all
non-traumatic amputations occur in patients with diabetes. Some ulcers
are related to improper footwear and foot support. Through pedorthic
solutions many diabetes related foot injuries and amputations can be
prevented. USA Congress amended the Medicare statues to
provide coverage, effective May 1, 1993, under Medicare Part B coverage
for depth shoes, custom molded shoes and foot orthoses to qualifying
diabetic patients.
