Foot Neuropathy

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is a chronic complication of diabetes that affects as many as 50% of all people with diabetes. Peripheral neuropathy is a foot problem in people with diabetes. It is caused by high blood glucose levels that:

affect the nerves of the feet
impair proper blood circulation

Foot neuropathy appears in two ways:

a person who has no feeling in his or her lower extremities, increasing the risk of having a foot problem and, potentially results in the loss of a limb
a person who feels constant pain, which may limit mobility, impair sleep and affect overall quality of life

Foot complications of diabetes are the main cause of amputations that are not due to an accident. If you have diabetes, and experience loss of sensation, you can hurt your feet and have a wound without being aware of it. You must take care of your feet every day, because many foot ulcers would be avoided by:

regular examination of the feet
access to appropriate care
proper footwear

People with diabetes must also pay special attention to avoid possible sprains or bone breakage in the foot, ankle, or leg. If one should occur, make sure the attending physician is aware of your diabetes.
