Diabetic Foot
Diabetic foot refers to a range of foot problems that can occur in individuals with diabetes. High blood sugar levels can damage nerves and blood vessels, leading to reduced sensation and poor circulation in the feet. This makes it difficult for wounds or infections to heal, increasing the risk of serious complications.
Common issues associated with diabetic foot include ulcers, infections, and in severe cases, amputation. Regular foot care, including daily inspections and proper footwear, is essential for individuals with diabetes to prevent these complications and maintain foot health.
