What I dont get why doctors don't tell Diabetics that after amupation they have so little time to live? |
Because it's not necessarily a cause and effect relationship. Factors like age, lifestyle, and overall health are massive factors. Someone who is 70 years old with an unhealthy diet might not live nearly as long as someone who is younger and willing to change bad habits. I would guess that the majority of people who have an amputation due to diabetic complications aren't the picture of health to begin with.
A friend of mine had a leg amputated a few years ago. Why? Mostly because he wouldn't give up cheap snack cakes and Mountain Dew. His amputation is more like a symptom of his irresponsibility than the cause of his declining healthy.
