Diabetes Complications
Diabetes (Type 1 or 2) can affect sensation and/or circulation to the feet. These changes can affect our protective sensation which can cause drastic changes and complications. Diabetes can also affect blood flow to feet which also can affect healing rate to feet.
Any cuts on feet can increase risk of infection. Diabetes can also cause foot deformity, changes in muscle size and skin.
