Introduction To Diabetic Foot Care

If you have diabetes, you are 15 times more likely to have a limb amputated due to gangrene. Diabetes can reduce the blood supply to your feet and cause a loss of feeling known as neuropathy. This can lead to poor healing of foot injuries, and you may not notice if your foot is sore or injured. Therefore, it is imperative that you take care of your feet.
