diabetes foot clinic
Myra Varnado, BS, RN, CDE, CWOCN, is a specialist in nursing wound, ostomy, and continence patients, and a certified diabetic educator at the Lallie Kemp Regional Medical Center.
She is one of the primary authors of the WOCN Guideline for the Management of Wounds in Patients with Lower-Extremity Neuropathic Disease, the third in a four-part series of evidence-based guidelines on treating a variety of types of wound disorders.
Lower-Extremity Neuropathic Disease (LEND) is most commonly present in management of diabetic foot and limb complications (i.e., diabetic neuropathy), with the ultimate treatment goal being amputation prevention.
Diabetic neuropathy with ulcers accounts for 50 to 70 percent of all non-traumatic amputations in the U.S. (2001) according to the CDC, but at least half of these amputations are preventable with early intervention.
LKRMC has one of the best documented limb salvage rates in the nation which is all the more significant when considering its limited resources and high-risk patients.
