“whats the thing with diabetics and feet? e/o is always concerned about feet for some reason…does anyone know anything?”
when I was younger I used to wonder why there was so many podiatrists in the neighborhood. Now that I have diabetes (type2) I know. Foot care is especially important to diabetics. A diabetic may have nerve damage to the nerves in the foot (neuropathy). The danger lies in not feeling pain and a diabetic with neuropathy may step on a nail and not feel it. Also, diabetics may have poor blood circulation in their feet. Poor blood flow makes it hard for a sore or infection to heal.
