Diabetes is a disorder of the body’s metabolism, in which the beta
cells of the pancreas are unable to produce sufficient insulin. Insulin
is a hormone that helps glucose get into the cells to give them energy.
Without insulin, too much glucose stays in the blood. Over time, high
blood glucose can lead to serious problems with blood circulation, the
heart, eyes, feet, kidneys, nerves, gums and teeth.
Peripheral Neuropathy & Poor Circulation
People with diabetes can develop many foot problems. Most often,
problems with feet happen when there is damage to the peripheral nerves
that control motor and sensory functions. This is called "peripheral
neuropathy". Nerve damage is the direct result of poor circulation.
Diabetes causes blood vessels of the feet and legs to narrow and
harden. This impedes blood flow from reaching your feet; making your
feet less able to fight infection and to heal. Furthermore, many people
with diabetes suffer from artery disease, which also reduces blood flow
to the feet.
If a diabetic does not take proper care of their feet, a small cut
that does not heal turns into an ulcer. Furthermore, the ulcer becomes
infected and gangrene sets in. To avoid the spreading of gangrene and
infection, doctors may amputate the foot.
