The mean duration of type 1 diabetes was 13.9 years;&nbsp;type 2 diabetes — 9.9 years. The average level of HbA1c was 8,4_2,2 %. We examined motor&nbsp; nd&nbsp;sensory functions of these patients, performed Doppler examination of the lower extremities vessels,&nbsp;microbiological examination with sensitivity to antibiotics. 68% of the patients were diagnosed with&nbsp;autonomic neuropathy. Doppler examination revealed occlusion of the arteries in 75% of cases. 49%&nbsp;of patients suffered from dry and wet gangrene. The aim of the treatment was compensation of&nbsp;carbohydrate metabolism, inhibition of the infection process and elimination of ulcers. In 3 patients,&nbsp;conservative therapy was ineffective, and therefore, the amputation was performed. This study like&nbsp;previous one performed in Albania, once again confirmed the importance of the problem of diabetic&nbsp;foot syndrome and the need to address this pathology in everyday medical practice.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Problems of Endocrine Pathology}, author={Aga¸ci , F. and Hasho , S. and Idrizi , M. and Sadedini , A. and Tafaj , S. and Celo , E.}, year={2021}, month={Aug.}, pages={14-22} }
