                    [Title] => Seven of 10 Filipino diabetes patients likely to lose a leg
                    [Summary] => Seven out of every 10 diabetic Filipinos will end up with amputated lower limbs, the Philippine Diabetes Association (PDA) said yesterday.


The group also warned that every 30 seconds, a human leg is cut off due to diabetes somewhere in the world.

PDA president Dr. Teresa Plata Que said foot and leg amputation is the leading complication of diabetes, a condition associated with an unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyle.

She added that this is because humans belong to the "upright Homo sapiens" species that depends heavily on its feet.
