Importance of Foot Health in Diabetes

As per the studies, about half of all people with diabetes have some kind of nerve damage. Nerve damage can happen in any part of the body, but nerves in your feet and legs are most often affected. Anyone with diabetes can develop nerve damage. Nerve damage, along with poor blood flow, can put you at risk of developing complications, for instance, foot ulcer (a sore or wound). Some diabetic patients with nerve damage have numbness, tingling, or pain, however, others have no symptoms. Nerve damage can also lower your ability to feel pain, heat, or cold. Dr. Arun explains the precautions which should be taken by diabetics to ensure proper care of their feet.
