Amputations are a relatively common complication of diabetes, particularly in those with poorly controlled blood sugar levels. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 1.5% of people with diabetes will undergo an amputation of a lower extremity (such as a foot or leg) each year.
It’s important to note, however, that proper management of diabetes can significantly reduce the risk of amputations. Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider, careful monitoring of blood sugar levels, and adherence to a healthy lifestyle (including a balanced diet and regular exercise) are all important steps in preventing diabetic complications like amputations.
