Caso clínico : abordaje nutricional en paciente con diabetes mellitus tipo 2.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes, being the predominant form in adults, presents significant clinical challenges, such as the development of diabetic foot, a severe complication that can lead to chronic complications and amputations. These abstract addresses the progressive nature of type 2 diabetes and its relationship with the progressive loss of beta cell function and insulin resistance. The importance of early detection is highlighted, as patients can be asymptomatic during diagnosis, and the symptoms of diabetic foot, including risk factors and clinical manifestations, are described. The assessment and diagnosis of diabetic foot infections are addressed with an emphasis on clinical classification, severity determination, and diagnostic tools such as X-rays and cultures. The relevance of a multidisciplinary approach in the comprehensive management of these infections is discussed, with a clinical case illustrating the complexity and importance of comprehensive care.
