Feet
Peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage) of the feet, peripheral vascular disease, foot ulcers, and Charcot foot are just a few of the potential diabetic complications that can impact your feet. Treat your tootsies well with good preventative foot care, appropriate foot protection, and regular foot exams to help stop trouble before it starts.
Diabetes is the leading cause of non-traumatic lower limb amputation. The good news is that simple foot care practices can greatly reduce your risk of developing foot disease.
