What Causes Soreness In The Foot While Having Diabetes?

My cousin has diabetes. She had a sore on her foot and now is hospitalized. I understand she has a flesh eating bacteria and the doctors have said they have to amputate the leg. Can you tell me the name of the bacteria and if we should seek another opinion

hi i can under stand your concern its not all a bacteria that is eating the foot or leg

its all a called a daibetic foot profile of a pateint that result in necrosis of that body part


so these no bacteria that causes it except supersadded infection


so be sure that the part of leg that changes the color and have no sensation need an urgent amputation


to save the rest of the foot


so just a good glycemic control and a good antibiotic coverge serve the purpose

thanks and regards
