| The amputation complication has always been such a big fear of mine, as both my grandfather and my mother had a leg amputated secondary to a foot ulcer. The statistics you mentioned, injecto, made me breathe a big sigh of relief at the percentages. Both mom and grandad did not work very hard at controlling their diabetes and suffered severely from that. I think it all boils down to controlling blood sugars, whether from meds, diet and exercise or all three.
