Why Diabetes causes foot problems?
Diabetes is a direct cause of nervous system malfunctions, which leads to an inability by the patient to manage, co-ordinate or feel his or her feet. The normal functions of sweat secretion and oil production to soften and lubricate the skin of the feet are slowed down substantially by the disease, in turn leading to development of wounds on the feet and toes.
In general wound healing is extremely difficult for diabetics due to blood vessel damage as well as immune system deficiencies. Bacterial infections in affected areas are thus also very common. These complications have the potential to finally result in death on cellular levels often characterized by tissue decay. Should complications not treated in time, chances are that the infection will spread into the bloodstream with the possibility of death.
