Thus there was a need to study various measures to prevent these complications. Methodology: All operative and medical management findings were noted and patients were followed up at intervals. All the data received during this procedure are placed in a special pro-forma that is prepared for the said purpose. Results: Out of 50 cases, 21 cases couldn’t turn up for a follow up and so the prognosis could not be evaluated for these cases. Satisfactory local healing was achieved in 11 cases including 2 cases of gradel and 9 cases of toe amputation after 6 weeks of follow up. 1 case of transmetatarsal amputation came for check-up and a satisfactory healing with no pressure complications was noted at the time of follow-up. Conclusion: HbA1c control was found to be poor (>8%) in a very high percentage of patients conforming the risk relation between glycosylated hemoglobin and diabetic foot infections.
