Diabetic Foot
People with diabetes are at a higher risk for developing diabetic foot because of the high levels of sugar in their blood. This can cause the tissues in the feet to break down, making them more susceptible to infection. Prevention is key to avoiding diabetic foot, so it is important for people with diabetes to carefully monitor their feet.
