Diabetic Foot ULcer

Diabetic foot ulcers are a common and serious complication of diabetes, affecting approximately 15% of diabetic patients during their lifetime. These ulcers typically develop due to a combination of factors including neuropathy (nerve damage), peripheral artery disease (poor blood circulation), and increased pressure on certain areas of the foot. They are most frequently found under the big toes and on the balls of the feet.
Neuropathy can cause a loss of sensation in the feet, making it difficult for patients to feel pain or discomfort from cuts, blisters, or other injuries. Peripheral artery disease impairs blood flow to the lower extremities, slowing the healing process and increasing the risk of infection. Together, these conditions create a perfect environment for the development of foot ulcers, which can penetrate deep into the skin and even reach the bone if left untreated.
Preventive measures are crucial for avoiding diabetic foot ulcers. Daily foot inspections, well-fitting shoes, and prompt medical care for injuries, combined with regular healthcare check-ups, play a vital role in managing diabetes and preserving foot health. Effective management and early detection significantly reduce risks and complications, ensuring better outcomes and maintaining overall foot health for diabetic patients.
