Description

We investigate the impacts of sleep issues on patients in the podiatry clinic by comparing HbA1c, sleep, and foot pathology. Diabetic foot pathology of peripheral arterial disease, peripheral neuropathy, lower extremity ulcerations, and a history of lower extremity amputation all increase the patient's risk of future amputation. Once a patient has an amputation of the lower extremity the five-year mortality rates are 40-70%. So, limb salvage not only improves the quality of life, but also increases the life expectancy for patients. Through a survey and chart review, we are investigating possible impacts of sleep issues on diabetic patients seen in the podiatry clinic as it relates to limb salvage
