One of the hardest things with having diabetes is that you’re prone to diabetic neuropathy. If you’re not familiar with diabetic neuropathy, it’s when you have high blood sugar in your body that your nerves get damaged. And when your nerves get damaged, it often starts in your feet and legs. Once you’re experiencing diabetic neuropathy, you’re prone to diabetic foot gangrene and ulcers which can lead to foot amputation. I was almost amputated because I had a diabetic foot ulcer, but thanks to the Singapore Diabetic Foot Centre, I was able to have diabetic wound healing treatment before it got worst.

Living with diabetes is no joke. But if you are trying to control it, you may be forgetting how it is also bad for your feet. Same as other nerves in the body, high blood sugar can also damage those that are in your feet causing a lot of trouble such as a diabetic foot gangrene. If the nerves on your feet are damaged, you are going to experience numbness which can cause blisters, cuts, and wounds. But if you have are observing proper diabetic foot pain treatment, you may prevent those cuts and sores from infecting your feet.
