In this episode of Diabetic Foot Files Dr. G explains disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC): what it is, how severe diabetic foot infections (like necrotizing fasciitis and osteomyelitis) can trigger it, and why early recognition matters. Learn common triggers, key lab patterns (thrombocytopenia, prolonged PT/aPTT, low fibrinogen, very high D-dimer), urgent management steps (source control, ICU care, transfusions, cautious heparin) and practical warnings to prevent escalation. The episode stresses listening to patients, drawing timely labs, and treating the cause—because early action can mean saving a life, not just a limb.
