## Frequently Asked Questions
### Can a diabetic foot wound heal?

Yes. With early diagnosis, blood sugar control, infection management, improved circulation and proper wound care, most diabetic foot wounds can heal without amputation.
### Which doctor should I see for diabetic foot?

Diabetic foot is a multidisciplinary condition. The best approach is to work with an experienced team handling wound care, infection, vascular and endocrine assessment together.
### Is amputation always necessary?

No. In a significant portion of patients, the limb can be saved with correct and timely treatment. Amputation is considered only as a last resort in life-threatening situations where other options are insufficient.
### How long does the treatment take?

It depends on the depth of the wound, infection and circulation status, blood sugar control and the patient. Some wounds heal in weeks, more complex ones within a few months.
### How is diabetic foot prevented?

Daily foot checks, proper footwear, regular blood sugar monitoring, nail and callus care and routine medical check-ups largely prevent the development of diabetic foot.
