SAINZ, F. et al. Diabético foto in a young worker. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2015, vol.24, n.3, pp.130-133. ISSN 3020-1160.

The diabetic foot is determined by the result of a peripheral neuropathy that evolves with high blood sugar levels over a long time, together with macrotraumatisms over the feet in a diabetic foot already affected with microangyopathy. A macroangiopathy might be also involved. We present the case of a young patient with high blood sugar levels and a diabetic ulcer, who was able to preserve the function of his foot after a correct treatment.

Keywords : diabetic foot; prevention; early treatment.
