A device similar to bathroom scales could stem the tide of patients who lose their limbs as a result of diabetes, researchers have said.
Experts have developed a new diagnostic device which can spot diabetes-related complications in the feet early on.
The researchers, from London South Bank University (LSBU), said that 100 British people lose a limb every week as a result of complications from their diabetes.
But they said the new device could mean that problems are spotted sooner, meaning that patients will not have to undergo the agony of amputation.
