Diabetes and How It Affects Your Feet

Diabetes is a condition that causes high blood sugar that can in turn contribute to very poor blood circulation and other conditions such as neuropathy.^[1] Whether you have top one or top two diabetes, there may be some physical effects that can affect your feet, in which case you will need proper footwear.

There are a few ways in which diabetes can affect your feet;

• Neuropathy – One of the most prevalent conditions that are mainly caused by diabetes is called neuropathy. This is a competition in which the nerves in your hands and feet are especially effective, and they can become damaged and degenerate. The condition causes pain, tingling, pins and needles in your feet and legs, especially, but for the most part, it can lead to complete numbness in your feet and legs, which can be extremely dangerous, because you will not be able to feel an injury, hot or cold.
• Poor Blood Circulation – Secondly, diabetes causes very poor blood circulation, which can be bad for your immune system and lead to other issues.^[2]
• Infection – When your immune system is compromised and you have poor blood circulation, it is much easier to pick up an infection through an ulcer or a score on your feet that can also cause infection in your blood.^[3]
• Slow Healing – Individuals that are diabetic will usually heal very slowly, and thus they are more prone to infection. This is because the compromised immune system caused by poor blood circulation and neuropathy can also play a part in injuries.
• Gangrene – All in all, an injury to your feet can eventually lead to gangrene, if not treated, or if it becomes infected. Gangrene may lead to the loss of a limb.

Picking the Right Shoes

For the most part, if you or diabetic, and especially if you have neuropathy in your feet, it has vital that you choose a shoe that has a thick protective soul, to protect your feet from sharp objects, and any object that could puncture the shoe. It is also vital that the shoe offers a roomy fit with nothing that can dig into your skin or cause friction that can lead to blisters.

The shoes should offer good stability and balanced cushioning that provides comfort and support for your feet, with a roomy toe box fed in which you can easily stretch out your feet.
