DIABETIC FOOTWEAR IN INDIA

People with diabetes are prone to foot problems as diabetes causes damage to blood vessels and nerves. This, in turn results in a decreased ability to sense trauma or pressure on the foot and a foot injury may go unnoticed until severe infection develops. Small infections can rapidly progress to death of the skin and other tissues(necrosis) which may require amputation of the affected limb to save the patient’s life. Foot problems can be prevented in part with improved blood sugar control and part with custom made medically proven footwear.
