Abstract

This review summarises the present knowledge of acute foot attacks in patients with diabetes. Diagnosis and treatment of acute foot attacks in patients with diabetes are often delayed, which increases the risk of amputations. To prevent this, urgent action is necessary, as it is for acute myocardial infarction and stroke, to ensure that patients are seen by competent specialists in a multidisciplinary team within hours. By following evidence-based guidelines, such as the National Treatment Guideline for diabetic foot disease from the Danish Endocrine Society, and seeking immediate medical attention, the risk of amputation and complications can be significantly reduced.
