DIABETES: CASE STUDIES
Daycare Amputation for a Diabetic Foot Ulcer at GVK Health Hub
A 50-year-old man with uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c 8.7) came to the clinic with a non-healing ulcer on his right big toe, along with swelling, redness, and discharge. X-rays confirmed the presence of osteomyelitis, and lab tests showed raised inflammatory markers.
After several hospital visits where he was advised to stay for 3–4 days, the patient sought a second opinion from Dr. E.D. Prasad at GVK Health Hub. Dr. Prasad known as the Best Diabetes Doctor recommended a daycare amputation of the toe to prevent the infection from spreading further. The procedure was done on the same day with IV antibiotics before and after the surgery. The patient also received wound care and was managed for his diabetes with a combination of insulin and oral hypoglycemic agents.
By opting for daycare admission, the patient avoided unnecessary hospitalization, reducing both his costs and recovery time. He returned a week later for suture removal and was given a follow-up plan, with regular check-ups every three months. During his follow-ups, he was educated on proper foot care, diabetes management, and how to prevent infections, helping him manage his health long-term.
