Abstract
Diabetes and its consequences, particularly diabetic foot ulcerations and amputations, are increasing exponentially on a global level. Universal interest exists in the establishment of educational programs, clinics, and patient materials. However, the availability and skills needed to develop, implement, and consistently manage diabetes and related problems are lacking. This article reviews problems related to care of the diabetic foot, with a focus on Thailand as a model. Recommendations are made to assist with the development and implementation of limb salvage centers for the treatment of the at-risk diabetic foot. The guidelines presented may be applied to any countries where diabetic foot care is in the initial stages of development.
