Why Diabetic Foot Care is Essential
High blood sugar levels over time can lead to diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage) and peripheral artery disease (poor circulation). This combination means even minor cuts, blisters, or calluses can go unnoticed and quickly develop into serious infections or ulcers.
Common Warning Signs to Watch For:
- Numbness, tingling, or burning sensation in the feet
- Loss of feeling or inability to sense heat/cold
- Slow-healing wounds, blisters, or sores
- Changes in skin color, temperature, or foot shape
- Unexplained swelling or persistent pain
