Understanding Diabetic Foot Issues
Diabetes can lead to several foot-related problems, including:
- Neuropathy: Diabetes can cause nerve damage, resulting in loss of sensation in the feet. This makes it difficult to detect injuries or infections.
- Poor Circulation: Reduced blood flow can slow the healing process and increase the risk of infections.
- Foot Ulcers: Open sores or ulcers can develop due to minor cuts, blisters, or pressure points. If left untreated, these can lead to serious infections.
- Infections: Diabetic individuals are more susceptible to infections, which can quickly escalate if not properly managed.
- Bone Deformities: A serious condition where the bones in the foot weaken and fracture, leading to deformities.
