People with diabetes often experience foot and leg problems, which can range from mild discomfort to severe complications like ulcers and infections. Understanding the causes and taking proactive steps can help prevent these issues and maintain mobility and quality of life.
Why Do Diabetics Suffer from Foot and Leg Problems?
Diabetes can cause various complications in the feet and legs due to high blood sugar levels over time. The main reasons include:
1. Nerve Damage (Diabetic Neuropathy)
Chronic high blood sugar can damage nerves, leading to diabetic neuropathy. Symptoms include:
- Tingling or burning sensations
- Numbness or loss of feeling
- Sharp or aching pain
- Weakness in the legs or feet
Because of this nerve damage, many diabetics may not feel injuries, which can worsen over time without proper care.
2. Poor Blood Circulation (Peripheral Arterial Disease – PAD)
Diabetes can lead to narrowed or hardened arteries, restricting blood flow to the legs and feet. Poor circulation can cause:
- Cold feet or legs
- Slow-healing wounds or sores
- Leg cramps or pain while walking
- Increased risk of infections
3. Slow Healing and Increased Risk of Infections
Due to poor circulation and a weakened immune system, small cuts, blisters, or sores take longer to heal. If left untreated, they can develop into serious infections, sometimes leading to ulcers or even amputation in extreme cases.
4. Swelling and Skin Changes
Diabetes can cause fluid retention, leading to swollen feet and ankles. Additionally, skin may become dry, cracked, or discolored due to poor hydration and circulation.
