definition for: #diabeticfoot

The diabetic foot is a potentially serious and limb-threatening condition for people diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. The most common consequences for high blood sugar levels in the foot's blood vessels are peripheral neuropathy (numbness) and poor circulation, which can lead to wounds and ulcers that are either slow to heal or non-healing. Severe cases of the diabetic foot can result in amputation of part of the limb.
