General Information  about Diabetes

 Diabetes is a serious disease that can develop from lack of insulin production in the body or due to the inability of the body's insulin to perform its normal everyday functions.

Diabetes affects approximately 16 million Americans and is classified into 2 different types: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 is usually associated with juvenile diabetes and is often linked to heredity. Type 2, commonly referred to as adult onset diabetes, is characterized by elevated blood sugars, often in people who are overweight or have not attended to their diet properly. Many complications can be associated with diabetes. Diabetes disrupts the vascular system, affecting many areas of the body such as the eyes, kidneys, legs, and feet.

  Foot Care

People with diabetes should pay special attention to their feet. Diabetic foot conditions develop from a combination of causes including poor circulation and neuropathy. Poor circulation contributes to diabetic foot problems by reducing the amount of oxygen and nutrition supplied to the skin and other tissues, causing injuries to heal poorly. Poor circulation can also lead to the swelling and dryness of the foot. Diabetics suffering from neuropathy (insensitivity or loss of ability to feel pain) can develop minor cuts, scrapes, blisters, or pressure sores that they may not be aware of due to insensitivity.

If these minor injuries are left untreated, complications may result and lead to ulceration and possibly even amputation.
