Diabetic Foot

Diabetic Foot is a common condition among diabetic patients that can lead to serious complications. Prolonged high blood sugar levels cause nerve damage (neuropathy) and circulatory disorders, increasing the risk of wounds, infections, and even amputations in the feet. At Healme Clinic, we support our patients with a multidisciplinary approach to prevent and treat diabetic foot problems.

Causes of Diabetic Foot

Diabetes, especially when uncontrolled, damages the nerves. This leads to a loss of sensation (neuropathy) in the feet, making it difficult for patients to feel minor injuries. Additionally, diabetes can cause circulation problems, which prevent proper nourishment of the tissues in the feet. This results in slow wound healing and an increased risk of infection.

Common Diabetic Foot Issues

Foot Ulcers: Small cuts, calluses, and wounds can easily become infected.
Nerve Damage: Pain, burning sensations, or loss of feeling may occur.
Circulation Problems: Reduced blood flow can lead to tissue death.
Infections: If left untreated, infections can spread to bones and deep tissues.
Risk of Amputation: Without early intervention, limb loss can occur.
