Overview
History of previous foot ulceration and poor glycemic control are two common positive histories in many patients suffering from diabetic foot. Other possible histories in a diabetic foot patient are history of kidney disease (due to diabetes), history of visual problems, history of burning sensation, previous amputation, trauma, and smoking. Diabetic foot patients may present to physicians with numerous symptoms. Nevertheless, the most common symptoms reported in these patients are burning, pins and needles sensation, discharge, and pain. In late stages of ulcer infection, fever and rigor are also common.
