General Surgery / Diabetic Foot
Diabetic patients have a high predilection for delayed wound healing and the presence of cuts or blisters on the feet that do not heal can lead to the development of some serious diabetic ulcers. More than half of the people with diabetes may have reduced nerve sensation and nerve damage that is commonly known as diabetic neuropathy. While nerve damage can exist in any part of the body, usually the nerves in the extremities are the ones that are affected and the lower limbs more than the upper. This nerve damage can cause loss of sensation in the affected area. The neuropathy may result in either loss of sensation and inability to experience temperature or vibration. Individuals with neuropathy may also experience tingling, numbness or burning sensation in the feet.

A complication arising due to prolonged periods of high blood sugar, diabetic foot is a condition characterised by foot problems or injuries which occur due to nerve damage in the extremities and can cause ulcer and infection. The feet do not get an adequate supply of blood or oxygen due to the damage to the blood vessels. Foot infections are one of the most common health complications resulting from diabetes.
