Diabetic individuals with high blood sugar and irregular course are more likely to have foot problems than individuals without diabetes.
Diabetic foot syndrome, one of the most prominent complications of diabetes, can cause lower extremity amputations. Therefore, foot care of individuals with diabetes is of great importance. Due to occlusion and stenosis in the vessels of the diabetic individual, malnutrition occurs in the tissues. The resulting insufficient blood circulation will cause foot wounds to heal difficult or not to heal. The slightest wound in the foot can reach life-threatening dimensions.
In order to prevent diabetes foot syndrome, attention should be paid to foot care and regular assistance should be sought from podologists trained in diabetic foot care.
