Neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy can lead to insensitivity to pain, heat, and cold, causing diabetics to overlook minor injuries like cuts and blisters. Untreated, these can result in complications, including ulcers and amputations. Neuropathy may also cause foot deformities, making daily foot observation crucial. By practicing preventative foot care, diabetics can significantly reduce the risk of serious foot conditions.
Preventing foot complications is crucial for diabetics due to poor circulation which can lead to ulcers and infections. Diabetes often causes peripheral vascular disease, narrowing arteries and reducing blood flow the feet, hindering healing.opedic shoes and accommodative foot orthotics, especially those with plastazote foam, help alleviate pressure. Diabetics should monitor foot health closely and consult a foot doctor if any issues arise.
