Pediteq Calls on India to Take Prompt Action to Treat Diabetic Foot and Avoid Needless Amputations

News Desk, News Nation 360: In light of World Diabetes Day, Pediteq – a healthcare footwear brand under Excelsior Leathers Pvt. Ltd. has re-emphasised its commitment to improving pod care as a key aspect of diabetes management. This aligns with the theme of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in 2026-27, 'Early action on diabetes'. With nearly 89.8 million adults in India suffering from diabetes, as per the IDF Diabetes Atlas, with nearly 43% of them being undiagnosed, 6.2% having diabetic foot ulcers, and nearly 1 lakh amputations annually in India due to preventable foot issues caused by diabetes, as per the International Decision Support Initiative (iDSI), Pediteq encourages its patients to do self-checks every day. They want individuals who are at risk to get themselves checked early. If they have blisters due to neuropathy, it is very important to get medical help. As per Founder Anirudh Choudhary, doing everyday foot checks, having protective shoes, and getting any small cuts healed quickly will help avoid losing your mobility and independence. Pic: Courtesy
