Individuals with diabetes are more at risk for serious foot complications, some of which can lead to the loss of function in a limb or even amputation, especially when they’re not cared for in a timely manner. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, podiatrists across the nation have seen many patients with diabetes delay care due to fear of exposure to the coronavirus.

“If a patient with diabetes ignores a wound or an infection, the possibility of amputation is very real,” said Dr. Ramy Fahim, a podiatric physician and surgeon at NOMS Ankle & Foot Care Centers. It’s crucial for these patients to keep their appointments with all of their healthcare providers, including their podiatrists, who are taking extensive precautions to provide a safe environment.”
