Information about Diabetes
Diabetes is a
serious disease that can develop from lack of insulin production in
the body or due to the inability of the body's insulin to perform
its normal everyday functions.
Diabetes affects
approximately 16 million Americans and is classified into 2
different types: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 is usually associated
with juvenile diabetes and is often linked to heredity. Type 2,
commonly referred to as adult onset diabetes, is characterized by
elevated blood sugars, often in people who are overweight or have
not attended to their diet properly. Many complications can be
associated with diabetes. Diabetes disrupts the vascular system,
affecting many areas of the body such as the eyes, kidneys, legs,
and feet.
Foot Care
People with
diabetes should pay special attention to their feet. Diabetic foot
conditions develop from a combination of causes including poor
circulation and neuropathy. Poor circulation contributes to diabetic
foot problems by reducing the amount of oxygen and nutrition
supplied to the skin and other tissues, causing injuries to heal
poorly. Poor circulation can also lead to the swelling and dryness
of the foot. Diabetics suffering from neuropathy (insensitivity or
loss of ability to feel pain) can develop minor cuts, scrapes,
blisters, or pressure sores that they may not be aware of due to
insensitivity.
If these minor
injuries are left untreated, complications may result and lead to
ulceration and possibly even amputation.
Useful Suggestions about Foot Care
If you are a
diabetic, you should be particularly alert to any problems you may
be having with your feet. It is very important for diabetics with
neuropathy to take necessary precautions to prevent injury and keep
their feet healthy. If you have diabetes and are experiencing a foot
problem, immediately consult your podiatrist. Ask your doctor to
plan an exercise program that is right for you.
Walking, dancing,
swimming, and bicycling are good forms of exercise that are easy on
the feet. Avoid all activities that are hard on the feet, such as
running and jumping.
Improve your foot
circulation by placing your feet up when you are sitting. Move your
ankles up and down and in and out to improve blood flow in your feet
and legs.
