JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-Current Research in Diabetes & Obesity Journal   IN THE ERA OF BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS, COST-EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF METABOLIC SYNDROME, TYPE 2 DIABETES, AND OBESITY IS ESSENTIAL Authored by Sunil J Wimalawansa The incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome have escalated in recent years, with skyrocketing associated management costs. Insufficient mass education on importance of healthy diet, adequate physical activities, and the lack of preventative measures are the most common reasons for this. In most countries, departments of health carry the financial burden. However, in western, industrialized countries, the cost is shared in varied proportions by the governments and insurance companies. Although the aforementioned entities pay these bills, costs eventually trickle down to consumers and taxpayers. The current approach of standardized care, a one-treatment-fits-all model, is inefficient in achievi

Contemporary data show that 40% to 50% among diabetics may experience an amputation while 20% to 25% are prone to die, during the first year of CLI diagnosis. Despite remarkable advances in peripheral arterial revascularization in the last two decades, major amputation rate seems scarcely affected in this group of patients by simultaneous increase of CLI presentations each year. The present article proposes a succinct review of main revascularization techniques currently reported using surgical, endovascular, or hybrid approaches
