Background Changes in the large vessels and microcirculation of the diabetic foot are important in the development of foot ulceration and subsequent failure to heal existing ulcers. We investigated whether oxygen delivery and muscle metabolism of the lower extremity were factors in diabetic foot disease.Methods We studied 108 patients (21 control individuals who did not have diabetes, 36 patients with diabetes who did not have neuropathy, and 51 patients with both diabetes and neuropathy). We used medical hyperspectral imaging (MHSI) to investigate the haemoglobin saturation (SHSIO2; % of oxyhaemoglobin in total haemoglobin [the sum of oxyhaemoglobin and deoxyhaemoglobin]) in the forearm and foot; we also used P-31-MRI scans to study the cellular metabolism of the foot muscles by measuring the concentrations of inorganic phosphate and phosphocreatine and calculating the ratio of inorganic phosphate to phosphocreatine (Pi/PCr).Findings The forearm SHSIO2 during resting was different in all three groups, with the highest value in controls (mean 42 [SD 17]), followed by the non-neuropathic (32 [8]) and neuropathic (28 [8]) groups (p
