When people think about diabetes, blood sugar often takes center stage. But what many don’t realize is that the condition’s most dangerous effects can creep in quietly—especially in your feet.
👣 The Hidden Threat to Diabetic Feet
Over time, diabetes can cause nerve damage (neuropathy) and poor circulation—a dangerous combination that puts your feet at serious risk. What makes it even more alarming is that many people feel little to no pain as the damage progresses.
If you're living with diabetes, here are the warning signs to watch out for:
* Numbness or tingling in the feet or toes
* Slow-healing cuts or wounds
* Hidden injuries that go unnoticed due to lack of sensation
* Infections that can escalate quickly
* Foot ulcers, and in severe cases, amputation
⚠️ You May Not Feel It Until It’s Serious
Because neuropathy reduces sensation, minor injuries like a blister or cut can go undetected. Without proper blood flow, your body struggles to heal—turning small issues into major complications. Many patients don’t realize the extent of the damage until it’s too late.
