Diabetes Week 2017 – DFA guides you through this year’s research in diabetic foot disease

Keeping track of what’s out there and finding the time to read it seems a near impossible job at times. So DFA is “guiding you through” the most important scientific & clinical developments in diabetic foot disease between Diabetes Week 2016 and 2017.

The last twelve months have seen various interesting developments, both scientifically and clinically, in the field of diabetic foot disease. In this “DFA Guides you through” document, we describe the most important developments in epidemiology, prevention, footwear and offloading, peripheral artery disease, infection and wound healing interventions. We look forward to further advancements in diabetic foot disease research and treatment in 2017 and 2018 that may contribute to ending avoidable amputations in a generation.

For those who cannot wait until our next yearly overview, register now for the 2017 Diabetes Feet Australia National Conference in September!

After two successful conferences at the Liverpool Hospital in 2013 and 2015, this is the third in the Australian Diabetic Foot Conference series.
