Diabetic foot complications are a burden to the Indian population which affects both financially and physically. The complications could be prevented if the risk of diabetic foot are detected well in advance before the peripheral nerves are damaged leading to amputation and limb loss. The quantification of severity plays an important role in timely intervention, delivery of appropriate treatment and prevention of amputation. This can be modeled as a classification problem where the risk category is stratified into different levels of severity. This paper is an approach to build such a system, capable of classifying the risk category of diabetic patients for suitable follow-up and care. Decision trees are used for the same with features selected using bio-inspired evolutionary algorithms like Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Cuckoo Search (CS), FireFly (FF), Dragon Fly (DF) and Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA). The overall accuracy is 77% but it identifies the low risk and high risk cases effectively with 97% and 89% respectively.
