Diabetic Foot Awareness: Recognizing and Managing Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Manage episode 440774004 series 3535554
Diabetic foot is a term used to describe a range of foot problems that arise due to diabetes. High blood sugar levels over time can cause nerve damage (called neuropathy) and reduce blood flow to the feet. This makes injuries slower to heal and more prone to infection. In severe cases, it can lead to ulcers, gangrene, and even amputation. In this episode of diabetic foot podcast, we’re shedding light on diabetic foot—a condition that affects individuals with diabetes. Foot complications can range from minor injuries to severe infections and, in some cases, lead to amputation. But the good news is, these issues are preventable with the right care and awareness.
