A QUARTER of people with diabetes in Scotland are at increased risk of amputation due to not getting their feet checked, campaigners have warned.
Diabetes UK Scotland said having their feet looked at was an essential annual check for some of the more serious complications from the condition.
The charity said there were already 10,292 people with diabetes in Scotland who have ulcers as result of diabetic foot disease.
