Diabetes may disrupt the vascular and neurological system, it affects many areas of the body including the feet.
For this reason, people with diabetes have to pay special attention to the health and care of their feet,
with regular visits to an expert podiatrist. Diabetic foot conditions develop due to a combination of causes, including poor circulation and neuropathy.

Diabetic Neuropathy can cause insensitivity or a loss of ability to feel pain, heat and cold.

If you are suffering from neuropathy, you may not be aware of minor cuts, scrapes, blisters or pressure sores that develop on your feet.
If these minor injuries are left untreated, complications may result and lead to ulceration and possibly even amputation.

It is critical, therefore for diabetics and their physicians to assess the condition of the feet on a regular basis,
and take the necessary precautions to prevent all foot related injuries.
