These problems can be difficult to treat.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Causes<\/h3><p>Diabetes changes the body in several ways, some of which can result in diabetic foot. Diabetes can damage the nervous system to such an extent that the feet lose sensitivity and do not feel hot, cold or painful sensations. One can injure one&#8217;s foot without realising it. Diabetes can also damage the circulatory system, causing poor blood flow to the feet and can make it more difficult for the body to fight the disease. With diabetes, it is possible to miss a small cut or sore on the foot, which could then become seriously infected.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symptoms<\/h3><p>Symptoms associated with nervous and circulatory problems may include new or persistent sensations of pain or numbness. The skin might become hard and shiny. Hair growth on the legs and feet may decrease, and there could be difficulty walking, along with swelling, redness, and warm skin.<br\/>Open wounds may develop, accompanied by fever and chills, or you might notice red streaks spreading across the skin away from the area of infection.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treatment<\/h3><p>Treatment options depend on the severity of the issues. A healthier lifestyle can help manage diabetes. Benefits may come from changing footwear and improving foot hygiene.<br\/>Inspecting the feet daily and having regular check-ups can help address minor problems before they become more serious. Your primary care doctor can develop a care plan tailored to your needs.<\/p><div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/><div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Overview<\/em><\/h3><p><em>This term is used to describe foot problems thatstem from diabetes.
