Diabetes is a disease in which the body is not able to filter glucose levels properly, and that leads to damage of the nerves and blood vessels. When this damage occurs, two main problems happen, nerve damage and poor blood flow. These conditions can lead to many diabetic foot problems.
Diabetes presents certain problems and issues for millions of individuals, including children, teens, adults and senior citizens. Cuts, infections or injuries to the feet may lead to a multitude of complications that may result in slow-healing ulcers, gangrene and even the need for amputation.Diabetics are especially susceptible to foot problems that result from poor circulation, slower healing processes and nerve damage and must take extra special care of their foot health in order to prevent such complications.
