What happens to your feet when you have diabetes?
Too much glucose (sugar) in your blood can cause nerve damage and poor blood flow which eventually leads to severe foot problems. Prompt attention to any infection or sore on your feet or toes can prevent gangrene.
Why does diabetes lead to amputation?
Numbness in the feet due to diabetic nerve damage can make people less aware of injury or foot ulcers because they simply can’t feel the pain or discomfort. Therefore, serious infection can go unnoticed for too long and the damage cannot be reversed.
