We wanted to share some data published in Diabetes Care last year that we believe didn’t get enough attention. It is from Iversen and coworkers from a terrific Norwegian cohort of patients.
To summarize:
* people with a history of a diabetic foot ulcer have a 40% greater 10 year mortality than people with diabetes alone
* having a wound immediately doubles ones chances of dying at 10 years compared with those without diabetes
