Diabetic Foot / Neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy is a loss of sensation in the feet caused by nerve damage due to diabetes. When sensation decreases, the foot becomes more vulnerable to injuries, infections, and ulcers that may go unnoticed and worsen quickly if untreated.
Causes
- High and prolonged blood sugar levels
- Poor circulation in the lower limbs
- Lack of proper foot care and monitoring
- Infections or unnoticed injuries
Symptoms
- Numbness, tingling, or burning sensation in feet
- Loss of ability to feel pain or temperature
- Slow-healing wounds or sores
- Changes in foot shape or skin color
