What is Diabetic foot?
Diabetic foot is a term used to describe foot problems that occur in people with diabetes. These problems are usually caused by poor blood circulation and nerve damage (neuropathy) resulting from high blood sugar levels. Diabetic foot can lead to serious complications, including infections and, in severe cases, amputation.
Types
1. Diabetic Neuropathy – This causes nerve damage and leads to numbness and pain in the feet.
2. Peripheral Vascular Disease – A circulatory condition in which narrowed blood vessels reduce blood flow to the limbs.
Symptoms
- Numbness or tingling in the feet
- Pain or discomfort
- Swelling in the feet or ankles
- Redness or changes in skin color
- Open sores or wounds that are slow to heal
- Infections, which may cause pus, fever, or an unpleasant odour.
- Changes in foot shape or deformities
Causes
- Neuropathy: Nerve damage that reduces the ability to feel pain, heat, or cold, leading to unnoticed injuries.
- Poor blood circulation: Reduced blood flow to the feet can slow down healing and increase the risk of infections.
- High blood sugar levels: Chronic high blood sugar can damage blood vessels and nerves, leading to foot complications.
- Foot deformities: Such as bunions, hammertoes, or Charcot foot, can increase the risk of ulcers and other problems.
