Resumen
Se conoce a la diabetes mellitus como un trastorno que causa hiperglicemia como
consecuencia de la resistencia a la insulina o disminución de esta. Es una patología
que cuyas cifras incrementan a nivel mundial cada año, por este motivo es
indispensable analizar cuales son las complicaciones más importantes,

de la lesión que presenta en relacion a la Escala Merrit Wagner para poder
establecer las medidas de prevención y tratamiento individualizado para cada caso
