Proper footwear is important for diabetics
Proper footwear is important for diabetics

Diabetic feet are particularly susceptible to pressure. As pressure builds up, the foot’s ability to manage the stresses and heal from inside diminishes. There is no pain to act as a warning indicator because of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, which causes numbness in the feet.

Neuropathy is a complication of diabetes

Having a connection with a podiatrist is generally recommended for people with diabetes. Many people know someone who has had a section of their foot or possibly their full leg amputated due to diabetes. As a Houston foot specialist who specializes in diabetic foot issues, I’ve made it my personal mission to assist diabetics walk on both feet.

When Should I Have a Diabetic Foot Ulcer Treated?

Checking for wounds
Checking for wounds

A diabetic foot ulcer is a break or hole in the skin that requires immediate medical attention. It can develop beneath the foot or over bony prominences, such as a bunion or hammertoe. If the hole gets much deeper, it might reach the bone. The infection can go all the way to the bone if the ulcer becomes infected. This can result in weeks or months of treatment, as well as hospitalization, surgery, and perhaps amputation.

What Causes Diabetic Foot Ulcers?

Complications from diabetes can lead to ulcers
Complications from diabetes can lead to ulcers

Poor circulation, decreased feeling or numbness, and a reduced healing ability are all complications of diabetes. If undiagnosed and ignored, these three conditions can have disastrous consequences. Insufficient blood supply to the foot, referred to as peripheral artery disease (PAD), deprives the tissues of necessary oxygen. Peripheral neuropathy, or numbing of the nerves in the feet, diminishes the protective sense and lessens the probability that a person with diabetes may experience pain as a result of an injury. Reduced healing capability can exacerbate a minor injury by allowing it to get infected and putting the limb at danger.

I have numbness in my feet… Is it possible that I’m diabetic?

Neuropathy is a loss of sensation
Neuropathy is a loss of sensation

Burning and stinging sensation in the feet are common symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy is not always caused by diabetes and does not affect everyone with diabetes. Some of my patients in Houston have been told by doctors that their numbness from peripheral neuropathy is a sign that they will get diabetes. This is not true.

What Are The Symptoms of True Peripheral Neuropathy?

by admin

 

Neuropathy can cause numbness or pain
Neuropathy can cause numbness or pain

Peripheral neuropathy can cause either numbness or pain. Regardless of whether is the primary symptom, neither is pleasant. The numb sensation may begin with the feeling that the socks are bunched up, despite the fact that they are not. This can lead to a full-fledged numbness in the foot, which can spread up the leg. Often, the protecting sensation is lost, leaving the foot vulnerable to infection from a simple splinter or a foot ulcer. These individuals are also at danger of falling due to their numb feet, which create substantial balance concerns.
