Diabetes can cause nerve damage and poor blood flow or circulation to the legs and feet. As a result of this, people with diabetes are less likely to detect a foot injury (such as a blister or cut) due to not being able to feel the sensation. Diabetes can make injuries more difficult to heal. Small foot injuries gone unnoticed and untreated can quickly become infected, with a potential for serious complications.
Early prevention is the best medicine. For people with diabetes, daily foot care inspections can help to maintain your foot health.
