Preventing and Treating Diabetic Foot Complications

Diabetic foot is one of the most serious complications of uncontrolled diabetes. Chronically high blood sugar damages blood vessels and nerves in the legs and feet, leading to reduced sensation, slower healing, and increased risk of infection.

 

At Srikara Hospitals, Vijayawada, our multidisciplinary team offers comprehensive diabetic foot care, including early detection, wound management, infection control, and surgical interventions if needed.

Why Diabetic Foot Problems Occur

 

Chronic diabetes affects your feet in two major ways:

 

  1. 1. Nerve damage (neuropathy)
  • Reduces sensation in your toes and feet
  • You may not feel minor cuts, blisters, or injuries

2. Blood vessel damage (peripheral vascular disease)

  • Slows wound healing
  • Reduces oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues

Together, these factors can cause:

  • Foot ulcers – Open, non-healing wounds
  • Infections – May spread to soft tissue or bone (osteomyelitis)
  • Gangrene – Tissue death due to lack of blood supply
  • Amputation – Required if infection or necrosis is severe

Signs of Diabetic Foot Problems

  • Non-healing sores or ulcers
  • Redness, swelling, or warmth in the foot
  • Pain or tingling sensations
  • Blackened or discolored toes
  • Pus or foul-smelling discharge

Early detection is crucial to prevent serious complications.

  • Regular foot examinations

Prevention Tips for Diabetic Foot

  • Check your feet daily for cuts, blisters, or redness

  • Wear comfortable, well-fitted shoes

  • Maintain blood sugar levels
  • Seek medical attention immediately for any foot wound
