Abstract
Chanika Alahakoon investigated the burden of Diabetes-related foot disease (DFD) in North Queensland, Australia. She found that the readmission rate following DFD was around 50% and that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people had significant distal vessel disease with a higher risk of major amputation. Prevention of DFD through offloading footwear is recommended for those with DFD.
