Glasgow diabetic foot risk score
The Glasgow Diabetic Foot Risk Score is a tool used by healthcare professionals to assess a person with diabetes for their risk of developing serious foot problems. It considers factors like skin condition, blood flow, sensation, and existing foot issues. The score helps identify individuals at low, moderate, or high risk, guiding preventive measures or treatments to reduce the chance of complications like ulcers or amputations. This assessment aims to catch problems early, ensuring appropriate care and reducing the risk of severe foot damage.
