Summary
In this episode of Diabetic Foot Files Dr. G explores the overlooked foot–liver connection: how liver metabolism, protein synthesis, clotting, and inflammation influence wound healing, infection risk, and limb salvage in people with diabetes.Topics include metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), low albumin, sarcopenia, key labs and imaging to consider, and practical steps clinicians can take to address systemic contributors to delayed healing.Takeaway: diabetic foot ulcers are rarely just a local problem—optimizing liver health, nutrition, glycemic control, and systemic care improves healing and reduces amputation risk.
