Diabetic Foot
Diabetic foot is a complication that can occur in people with diabetes when high glucose levels over time affect the circulation and sensation in the feet. This makes the area more vulnerable to injury.
Signs to watch for: wounds that are slow to heal, changes in color or temperature, tingling, loss of sensation, or ulcers.
When to seek care? With any wound, blister, or change in the feet that does not improve, a prompt evaluation is advisable to keep it from progressing.
Which specialist treats it? It usually requires a joint approach: the endocrinologist or diabetologist, the angiologist or vascular surgeon, and the podiatrist work in a coordinated way. If you live with diabetes, checking your feet regularly together with these professionals is a worthwhile measure.
