Diabetic Foot
Diabetes is an illness that not only raises blood sugar, but causes significant damage to the blood vessels, nerves and bones. Some people with diabetes develop numbness in the feet or poor blood flow. That can make it difficult to notice blisters, sores and cuts. Undetected and untreated wounds can quickly become infected, leading to complications and sometimes amputation. There are many strategies to protect you from wounds and infection. Kindly consult your doctor for the same.
Management of a diabetic foot involves multiple specialties. Your plastic surgeon will help prevent and treat the changes occurring due to diabetes. Several wounds may require advanced management and even multiple clean ups (Debridement).
