Foot care is especially important to people with diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes can cause nerve damage and a loss of sensation in the feet. This can result in cuts and infections that may go unnoticed and untreated, sometimes leading to the loss of a limb. Poor circulation as a result of diabetes may also cause pain and sores on the feet. Check your feet every day for cuts, blisters, red spots and swelling.
