How to sort out Foot Problems Associated with Diabetes
It sucks to go through feet issues from diabetes, its not pretty, very painful and ugly. A serious complication of diabetes is foot infections that do not heal. Diabetes limits the blood to nerves of the feet and limits the ability of the body to fight infection. This can cause death of tissue in the foot. Symptoms of a diabetic foot infection include swelling, redness and pain. Ulcers on the sole of the foot may also occur. If left untreated, the foot will turn black and smell as the tissue dies. Treatment of foot infections includes antibiotics and possible hospitalization for surgical removal of infected tissue. Immediate attention by a doctor is needed for any diabetic foot problem. Would love to hear from others who are going through diabetic feet or know someone who is suffering from it.
