Why Diabetes Targets the Feet
-
High blood sugar damages nerves → loss of sensation
-
Blood vessel damage reduces oxygen supply → slow healing
-
Weakened immunity → higher infection risk
Unchecked, these issues can progress to serious complications, including amputations—but early detection dramatically reduces risk.
When to See a Doctor
Seek medical advice if you:
-
Have multiple symptoms from this list
-
Notice non-healing wounds
-
Experience new numbness or burning
-
Have a family history of diabetes
A simple fasting glucose or HbA1c test can provide answers.
If you want, I can:
-
Rewrite this as a blog article, health newsletter, or social media post
-
Simplify it for a general audience
-
Create a checklist or infographic outline
Just tell me how you plan to use it.
