Wound care & prevention

Diabetes can significantly impair blood circulation and damage nerves in the feet, a condition known as diabetic neuropathy. This reduces the ability to feel pain, heat, or injuries, allowing small cuts, blisters, or pressure sores to go unnoticed and untreated.

Additionally, poor circulation in diabetics slows down wound healing and increases the risk of infection. Without proper foot care, these minor issues can quickly escalate into serious infections, ulcers, or gangrene. If left unmanaged, such complications may become so severe that they require partial or full amputation to prevent life-threatening infections from spreading. Consistent foot care is therefore crucial for individuals with diabetes to detect problems early and avoid these potentially devastating outcomes.
