Believe
it or not, there is a deep relationship between diabetes and your
feet’s health! According to renowned pedorthist Eric Vainer, it is
very important for diabetic people to take proper care of their feet.
Effects
of diabetes on feet
– This
disease can cause serious nerve damage in feet. Due to nerve damage,
patients lose the feeling of this body part. It can cause very
serious problems in case of infection, injuries, etc. This disease
also negatively affects the recovery rate of injuries. In many
individuals, the shape of their feet also changes over time.
Positive
effect of proper shoes
– For
diabetic people, it is important to wear the right type of shoes. The
right shoes can help in increasing the blood flow to the feet, while
keeping them comfortable. The proper footwear is flexible and
provides support. It reduces stress on the feet, and the chances of
injuries.
Regular
checkups, proper care and the right shoes, can help diabetic patients
in avoiding feet related problems.
