Diabetes Foot Complications

Diabetic face many factors that increase the chances of developing foot problems and diabetic infections. Some of these factors are:

poorly fitting shoes
poor footware causing red spots, sore spots, blisters, corns, calluses, or consistent pain
damage to the nerves in the feet called peripheral neuropathy
being unable to sense the position of your feet and toes while walking and balancing
common foot abnormalities such as flat feet, bunions, or hammertoes that need prescription shoes or shoe inserts
not being aware of minor injuries (such as cuts, scrapes, blisters), signs of abnormal wear and tear (that turn into calluses and corns), and foot strain
poor circulation leading to accelerated hardening of the arteries or atherosclerosis
trauma to your foot increasing the risk for a more serious problem to develop infections
athlete's foot leading to more serious bacterial infections
ingrown toenails and toenail fungus
smoking causing damage to the small blood vessels in the feet and legs
