Foot care is essential for those with diabetes. Peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common symptoms of diabetes, and can lead to worrisome complications.<\/b> Peripheral neuropathy is a type of nerve damage that impacts the extremities, particularly the hands and feet. It can be painful at times, but it can also result in loss of feeling as well.<\/p>

Diabetic patients with neuropathy may lose feeling in the feet. When this happens, and you injure your foot, you may develop a foot ulcer. This is an open sore that develops when a wound or injury does not heal properly.<\/b><\/p>

Diabetes increases the risk of these ulcers due to high blood sugar levels. These heightened levels inhibit wound healing, decrease blood flow, and even cause damage to your nerves.<\/p>

This makes it especially easy for a wound to go unnoticed.<\/b><\/p>

An untreated ulcer can lead to serious infection or gangrene, a condition marked by decaying tissue. In serious cases of gangrene, generally, your only option is amputation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
