Understanding and Preventing Diabetic Foot Complications

Introduction

Diabetic foot complications are among the most common and serious problems faced by people with long-standing diabetes. However, most of these complications are preventable with proper care and early intervention.

At MV Hospital for Diabetes, we specialise in diabetic foot management and have saved thousands of patients from amputation through timely diagnosis and treatment.

1. What Causes Diabetic Foot Problems?

High blood sugar over time damages nerves and blood vessels, leading to:

  • Reduced sensation (neuropathy)

  • Poor blood circulation

  • Increased infection risk

These factors make even a small cut turn into a serious ulcer.

2. Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

  • Tingling or numbness in feet

  • Swelling or redness

  • Cracks or calluses

  • Non-healing wounds

3. Prevention Tips

  • Inspect feet daily for cuts or blisters

  • Wash feet in warm water and dry thoroughly

  • Wear cushioned footwear

  • Avoid walking barefoot

  • Control blood sugar consistently
