Why Diabetes causes foot problems?
As the nervous system malfunctions on account of diabetes, the patient may not be able to control or co-ordinate or even feel his or her feet properly. Normal sweat secretion and oil production which lubricate the skin of the feet stops slowly. This leads to development of wounds in the feet.
Generally it is difficult for diabetic patients to heal these wounds due to damage in blood vessels and malfunction of immune system. This leads to bacterial infection in affected areas. Finally, these complications will end in cell death characterized by decay of body tissues. If these complications are not treated in time, the infection spreads to the bloodstream and can lead to death.
