What causes diabetic foot?
Diabetic foot is a complication of diabetes that can be caused by a variety of factors. If you have diabetes, it’s important to take steps to prevent diabetic foot, such as maintaining good foot hygiene, wearing proper footwear, and monitoring your blood sugar levels. It’s also important to have regular foot exams and work with a healthcare professional to manage your diabetes and prevent complications.
Neuropathy
Diabetes can cause nerve damage, which can lead to neuropathy. Neuropathy can cause a loss of sensation in the feet, making it difficult to detect injuries or other issues.
Poor Circulation
Diabetes can cause circulation problems, which can reduce blood flow to the feet. This can lead to slow healing and an increased risk of infection.
Foot Deformities
Certain foot deformities, such as hammertoes or bunions, can put pressure on the feet and increase the risk of developing diabetic foot.
Poor Footwear
Wearing improper footwear, such as shoes that are too tight or don’t provide adequate support, can increase the risk of developing diabetic foot.
Injuries
Injuries to the feet, such as cuts or blisters, can be more difficult to heal in individuals with diabetes, increasing the risk of infection and other complications.
Poor Diabetes Management
Poor management of diabetes, such as uncontrolled blood sugar levels, can increase the risk of developing diabetic foot.
