Show notes

This episode compares tuberculosis control strategies to diabetic foot ulcer care, showing how a public-health system transformed TB from a deadly epidemic into a controllable disease and how similar systems can prevent avoidable amputations in people with diabetes. Dr. G explains key parallels—latent progression, unequal burden, and the need for engineered compliance—and proposes practical lessons: standardized screening, mandatory referral pathways, remote monitoring, multidisciplinary teams, and a national diabetic foot surveillance system to catch problems early and reduce preventable limb loss.
