Diabetic Foot Care 512-450-0101 Austin Podiatrist

When you have diabetes, it's common to experience foot problems. This short video easily explains what you need to know about caring for your feet when you have diabetes. Your feet are one of the most vital body parts you have, and once they are damaged, it's sometimes difficult to recover without the help of a skilled doctor. Regular foot care helps protect your feet and prevent foot ulcers or sores. Often people with diabetes experience pain, numbness, and tingling. A variety of foot disorders and diseases are also possible. It's crucial to avoid long-term high blood sugar levels. Diabetes can cause restricted or limited blood flow to the feet. When your blood sugar is high, it can damage the nerves in your legs and feet. Any nerve damage can make it challenging to feel objects in your shoe, pressure, pain, and temperature. It would be best if you relied on sight to alarm you of cut or sore. We recommend purchasing well-fitting shoes because you may not realize it if they are tight or rubbing your foot. When you cannot feel cuts and blisters, you're more likely to get infections caused by sores because you were unaware. Schedule an appointment today to prevent serious issues in the future or help recover from a problem you are currently having.
