Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is a widespread pathological disorder present in developing countries with high prevalence rates. Doppler ultrasound offers the framework for non-invasive and accurate measurement of the range and rate of flow in arteries that can be tracked on a systematic basis. The aim of the study is to correlate the severity of diabetic foot lesions by Wagner grading with Ankle Brachial index and Doppler findings. Vascular study in a diabetic foot using Doppler ultrasound. The 50 cases of ‘Diabetic Foot’ were studied from May, 2011-2013 admitted in Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, Karad. In Doppler study 22 patients showed atherosclerosis with the normal flow. The 19 patients showed atherosclerosis with the reduced flow. Most number of patients 14 had moderate stenosis and complete Occlusion was seen in 4 patients.
