Aim: In diabetes, non-invasive lower-limb assessments including continuous wave Doppler (CWD), ankle-brachial index (ABI) and toe-brachial index (TBI) are recommended to assess vascular status due to increased risk of ulceration and amputation associated vascular pathology. How well these measurements can identify those at risk of these complications is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between a history of foot complication and non-invasive va...
