Could some tell me scientifically why foot cares are so important for those with diabetes?

Answer 1

i can tell you what my surgeon told me when he was trying to save my left leg. it all stated with a small cut on my left heel,took all kinds of medications but nothing seemed to work. diabetics have poor circulations to thier lower limbs . he took just my heel to begin with but that did not help.a year after that i had to sign a paper saying it was ok to amputate below thw knee. the infection had worked its way into my bone and it was spreading up my leg. i had my leg apmutated and it took months for that to heal because diabetes heal so slow. but now i get around great on my artifical leg. i go and talk to other people that are going trough what i went through. it is not a life ending surgruy because now i still ride bikes go for walks with my nieces and nephews and play basetball. i can swim in the pool or even the lake i am just a little slower getting around.

things to remember-
1.always pay close attention to your feet because you might have a sore or cut and not feel it
2.only wear white socks because the dyes can make your feet infeted
3.keep your toenail trimmed
4.put lotion to keep your feet from drying out
5.go to your doctor if anything wierd happens to your feet
6.keep your sugar level low
7.wear good shoes
8.do not think oh it is nothing it will go away on its own
9.dry yourfett and toes very good after your shower
10.ask your doctor questions on how to help keep your feet

e mail me if you have any more questions. god bless you and keep you safe.

Diabetes causes loss of nerve ending so that you can't feel. You could have a silent heart attack or a bad sore on your foot and not feel it. Diabetes also causes large and small vein damage. That's why your kidney's fail and you go blind. You have trouble with extremities because you have low blood flow. Diabetes also causes your arteries to clog. That why many people with diabetes die of heart attacks-and by the way did you know you can have a silent heart attack-that's one you can't feel. Oh and low blood flow causes sores not to heal, and if you can't feel it, you just keep abusing the site and the sore grows and grows and often you end up with gangrene and have to have your foot or leg cut off. Is this scientific enough. . .It is imperative that you take very good care of all your toes and all your fingers. . .but you can see your fingers and not the bottom of your feet Proof of all of this is that when you go to the doctors and they stick a needle in your foot and ask you if you can feel if. If you don't, you are in big trouble.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

SimTroop about has it nailed on the head. The only thing I would make sure to add is that high blood sugar is hell on your nerves. And given the punishment that your feet take in a given day, it is not surprising that it is usually the place where you can almost completely lose feeling. Many diabetics have next to no feeling in their feet. When this happens, something as minor as a blister can become a huge problem.

Answer 8

Diabetes damages the peripheral nerves meaning that diabetic people may not feel an injury to their feet. For this reason diabetic people should examine their feet at least daily for injury. Diabetes also damages the microcirculation to the extremities, such as the feet, making it harder to heal any wounds.

Answer 9

Diabetes affects the circulation of the body. Poor control of diabetes leads to poor circulation. The feet are the farthest from the heart and more susceptible to circulation problems. Diabetic's wounds tend to take longer to heal - so careful care of the feet help prevent problems like gangrene which leads to amputation.

Answer 10

People with diabetes are more prone to circulation problems. And the feet are the furthest extremity, so circulation problems usually begin with the feet.
