A RETIRED GP who narrowly avoided having a foot amputated because of diabetes has issued a stark warning in the light of new figures.
As revealed in yesterday’s Oxford Mail, Public Health England statistics showed 124 people in Oxfordshire had diabetes-related amputations between 2010 and 2013.
This was an increase of four per cent on amputations carried out between 2007 and 2010.
Patricia White, from Moulsford, near Wallingford, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as a child.
