Why Foot Care Matters If You Have Diabetes
Diabetes can affect the feet in several serious ways:
- Nerve damage (neuropathy) can reduce sensation in your feet, making injuries go unnoticed.
- Poor circulation can slow healing, increasing the risk of infection.
- Foot deformities from nerve damage can create pressure points that lead to blisters, sores, or ulcers.
Without proper care and footwear, these issues can progress and may lead to severe complications, including amputation of a toe, foot, or leg.
- More than 60% of non-traumatic lower-limb amputations occur in people with diabetes.
- The CDC has estimated that roughly 1 in 4 Americans with diabetes will develop foot complications, and that properly fitted shoes are essential for reducing these risks.
