The history of gangrene of the foot goes back to Biblical time, when, in Chronicles II, the first case of gangrene of the feet, perhaps due to diabetes, is described.

Patients with diabetes came with various forms of foot lesion like single toe cellulitis to deep plantar abscess and ulcer to extensive foot cellulitis and gangrene. Blood sugar level, culture and sensitivity test, colourdoppler study done in these patients and appropriate treatment given. Patient s were educated about proper foot care at time of admission, during treatment and at time of discharge and follow up of these patients was done on OPD basis during the time period of our study.
