How diabetes affects your feet
Diabetic feet refers to the negative effects caused by diabetes where people with this condition experience nerve damage or poor blood flow in their feet – it is vital you get your feet checked by a professional Chiropodist, Podiatrist or Foot Health Practitioner.
Having diabetes can lead to a loss of sensation in the feet, making it difficult to feel cuts, blisters, or other injuries. If left untreated, these injuries can become infected and lead to serious complications. It is important for people with diabetes to take good care of their feet by checking them regularly for any signs of injury, wearing comfortable shoes that fit well, voiding going barefoot and most importantly having them checked by a professional.
