Its impact is very high in terms of prevalence and costs for society. This is due to the problems that it generates both acutely and chronically in those patients who suffer from it, affecting their quality of life in a considerable way.<br \/>When we treat a diabetic patient, the following must always be taken into account:<br \/>1. Dermatological problems, since they are predisposed to suffer different types of injuries and wounds whose recovery is usually much slower than the rest and with a special facility for infection and derived complications. Special interest in detecting atrophies and skin dryness, since they are the first step in this process.<br \/>2. Neuropathic problems. It is always important to assess the nervous state (sensitivity) of the patient, which makes them more predisposed to suffer injuries and alterations without being aware of them due to their associated sensory deficit.<br \/>3. Vascular problems. It is very common to find alterations of vascular origin in diabetic patients, such as decreased pulse, difficulties in venous return or occlusion of small blood vessels. All of this resulting in a lower oxygen and nutritional contribution to the most distant tissues with all that this implies.<br \/>4. Gait disturbances. When the above fields are affected, the tendency is to generate loss of the normal function of the foot muscles and with them the appearance of deformities of special risk in this type of patient (bunions, claw toes, calluses &#8230;)<br \/>At HCB we have a multidisciplinary team with advanced protocols in accordance with the Spanish Diabetes Society, for the care and treatment of diabetic foot.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3084,"parent":0,"template":"","estilo":[],"centros-hcb":[84,46],"class_list":["post-10161","especialidades","type-especialidades","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","centros-hcb-hcb-benidorm","centros-hcb-hcb-calpe"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hcbhospitales.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/especialidades\/10161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hcbhospitales.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/especialidades"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hcbhospitales.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/especialidades"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hcbhospitales.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/especialidades\/10161\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hcbhospitales.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hcbhospitales.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"estilo","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hcbhospitales.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/estilo?post=10161"},{"taxonomy":"centros-hcb","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hcbhospitales.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/centros-hcb?post=10161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
