People with
diabetes are more prone to foot problems. Diabetes can cause
nerve damage, which means you can not feel a foot injury until a large sore or infection. Diabetes can also damage blood vessels.
Furthermore, diabetes affects the body’s immune system, decreasing the ability to fight infection. Small infections can worsen quickly and cause the death of the skin and other tissues, which may require amputation.
To prevent injury to the feet, inspect them and take care of them daily.
