Diabetic foot is a complication arising due to prolonged periods of high blood sugar. Diabetic foot is a condition characterized by foot problems or injuries which occur due to nerve damage in the extremities and can cause ulcer and infection. The feet do not get an adequate supply of blood or oxygen due to the damage to the blood vessels. Foot infections are one of the most common health complications resulting due to diabetes.Diabetic Foot & Podiatry department in Lisie hospital was started in 2023. It focuses on treating and preventing diabetic foot and podiatric complication and problems. The team consist of a Diabetic foot and Podiatric surgeon. A trained Podiatric assistant who performs neuropathic & vascular scans and a orthotic engineer who does personalised footwear.
There are two main conditions that afflict the foot in persons who have diabetes.
Diabetic Neuropathy
People who are suffering from diabetes for prolonged periods of time blisters, cuts and sores without the person becoming aware of it.
Peripheral Vascular Disease
Fatty deposits can block the blood vessels in legs which tends to reduce the blood flow, resulting in slow healing wounds, pain and infection. In severe cases, it may even result in an amputation.
Why Does Diabetic foot occur?
The main cause of diabetic foot is the high blood sugar levels in the body, which damages the nerves. This nerve damage results in a loss of sensation in the feet. This, in turn, has a cascading effect where the person is unable to feel any wound or irritation in the feet, which can result in untreated infections. These, if allowed to fester, can lead to more serious complications such as gangrene, and can require amputation.
Another effect of the nerve damage is that the feet’s ability to sweat is impaired. The resultant dry feet causes cracks, which allows germs to enter the body. Diabetes can also cause the blood vessels to shrink and harden, which makes it harder to fight infection.
The diabetic foot specialists state that there is a 15% chance that a diabetic patient will develop diabetic foot complications at some point or the other in life. These problems can occur due to:
• Neuropathy or nerve damage or poor blood circulation in the feet.
• Frequent episodes of hyperglycaemia or constant high blood sugar levels.
• Hypertension or high cholesterol levels.
• Obesity or suffering from diabetes for a long time.
Diabetic neuropathy is a type of nerve damage that occurs due to prolonged periods of high blood sugar levels. The most commonly affected part of the body is the legs and feet though it can occur in any other region of the body as well. The loss of sensation or numbness in the feet can result in missing a blister or a cut. These wounds that go untreated become infected and can spread rapidly.
Diabetics also suffer from reduced blood flow to the limbs that causes narrowing of arteries that can result in delayed healing of infection or worsening of a diabetic foot ulcer.
The specialists advise about the top five symptoms of diabetic foot:
• Discolouration of the skin.
• Swelling or redness.
• Discharge of pus or other fluids.
• Foul odour from the wound.
• Changes in the toenails.

Lisie hospital is having one of the best pediatric department, where I consulted Dr. Edwin Francis, Dr. Annu, Dr. Sunil for my Kid. He is having one the complex heart issues, As of now, 2 Surgeries done. Prior to this, I have gone to another hospital, but they don't have a facility to treat this particular case and they directed me to Lisie Hospital. The cost of the treatment is comparabilly very very cheap with other hospitals. All the nurses there were very friendly and they give special care to each patient especially paediatric OP. I have spent nearly 18 days at Lisie hospital, I would really recommend this hospital for heart-related issue since they are in the top 2 position in India. This hospital is really recommended for the middle class, lower-class families since the cost are really affordable.

Patient Testimonials
I am glad to inform you that we had a very comfortable experience at Lisie Hospital during the cardiac surgery of my nephew, Aahil P, M / 3 yrs, OPD No. 2528461, RBSK Case No.1534. Meanwhile, we take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to Dr. Sunil G S, Dr. Edwin Francis, other medical team members, Coordinator Ms. Jitha and all staff members of Lisie Hospital for the good care and hospitality provided to us. We had heard a very good opinion about your hospital, so we preferred to come there all the way from Palakkad and things what we heard were very much true. The facilities were indeed of very high class quality. The approach of each and every member of your staff had been very polite, my salute to all. The only problem which we faced was for vehicle parking, which was very difficult sometimes, otherwise, all other things were really very, very fine. My nephew is now doing well and we all are very happy. May Almighty Bless you all. With best wishes
