Why Diabetic Foot Care is Essential
Poorly managed Diabetes can lead to serious foot problems. High blood sugar levels can damage nerves and reduce blood flow to your feet, increasing the risk of:
- Neuropathy: Loss of sensation in your feet, which can make it difficult to detect injuries or infections as well as affecting your balance and coordination.
- Poor Circulation: Reduced blood flow can slow down the healing process and increase the risk of ulcers and infections.
- Foot Ulcers: Open sores that can become infected and lead to more severe complications, including amputations.
