Abstract
Among diabetics, 15% are at risk of developing foot ulcers(1). Annual incidence ranges between 1% to 4.1%(2) and prevalence is between 4% to 10%(3-4). Diabetic foot problems are one of the commonest causes of admission to hospital for diabetic sufferers, and diabetics are affected more than non diabetics(5). Foot ulcers affect the physical and emotional state of diabetic persons and can lead to financial losses(6-9).
