Diabetic Foot<\/span><\/h1>\n

Overview<\/span><\/p>\n

Foot problems are very common in individuals diagnosed with diabetes, as nerves and vessels in the feet are damaged by high blood sugar, which can lead to neuropathy in the feet: a loss of feeling. The inability of feeling pain in the foot\/ not knowing when the foot is wounded can impact the health of the foot severely and cause it to become infected, which at worst can lead to gangrene (the death of muscle, skin, and other tissues.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Prevention<\/span><\/p>\n

Checking the foot daily is crucial in identifying possible nerve damage as soon as it begins to occur. Getting these issues treated earlier lowers the risk of tissue death and amputation. Keeping the skin clean and nails well-trimmed is also optimal, as well as avoiding walking around barefoot or wearing ill-fitting shoes. Make sure that blood is flowing throughout the feet via simple foot stretches, and exercise mobility.<\/span><\/p>\n
