How Diabetes Causes Diabetic Foot?

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that causes high blood sugar. Insulin moves sugar from the blood into the cells to be stored or used for energy. With diabetes, your body either doesn't make enough insulin or can't effectively use the insulin it does make.
  • Amputation is the last resolve
  • To prevent diabetic foot turning in the advanced stage, get the blood test done periodically
  • Periodically get tested for Vitamin D and Vitamin B12. Vitamin deficiencies must be rightly supplemented to prevent vasculopathy
  • Treat your foot like your face and consult the doctor to notice slight changes in feet.
