Diabetic foot refers to a condition that affects individuals with diabetes, causing complications in their feet. It can result from nerve damage (neuropathy), poor blood circulation (peripheral arterial disease), or a combination of both. Common symptoms include numbness, tingling, pain, or ulcers on the foot, which can lead to serious infections if left untreated. Diabetic foot requires careful management, including regular foot care, proper footwear, controlling blood sugar levels, and treatment for any existing complications. Individuals with diabetes need to monitor and care for their feet to prevent further complications and maintain overall foot health.
