As DM's prevalence rate increases, the DM's chronic complications will also increase.4 Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital in Indonesia reported numbers of death and amputation are 16% and 25% in 2003.5 In the USA, diabetic foot ulcers spent billions of dollars during patient care in the hospital and the consequences of the defects it causes.
