The diabetic Charcot foot is rare, but a life-changing event affecting quality of life, and it risks amputation of the limb. There is no high quality evidence base governing treatment, causing clinicians to rely on low-quality, underpowered studies and expert opinion. However, CN is a treatable condition and, with lifestyle modifications and proper footwear, it does not shorten the life span of those afflicted.
糖尿病性夏科氏足很罕见，但会改变生活，影响生活质量，而且有截肢的风险。目前针对治疗，并没有高质量的循证医学依据，导致临床医生只能依赖低质量、效力不足的研究和专家意见。然而，CN 是一种可治疗的疾病，通过生活方式的改变和合适的鞋子，它并不会缩短患者的寿命。
