Father could loose leg from painful foot and Diabetes?My father has had Diabetes for a good 20 years and been able to control the sugar. Then he had to have Triple Heart Bypass surgery,about 7 years ago. The Doctors used some of his veins from his legs, and for the last 5 years he has had pain in his legs and feet. Now the Doctors tell him he may loose a leg?

That's not uncommon. It's a circulation issue. Visit webmd.com for more info. P.S. I'm so sorry to hear this. :-(

yes, circulation problems often cause diabetics to lose limbs, does this surprise you?

That's too bad I'm sorry for both of you. If it were me I would get other opinions, 2nd and 3rd opinions to see if there was some way to save his leg, sometimes going to a different doctor who has different experience can shed light on a new treatment other doctors are not familiar with. Good luck.
