Diabetic Foot Care: Why Proper Footwear Matters

The Importance of Diabetic Footwear

Diabetes affects foot health in multiple ways — reduced sensation (neuropathy), poor circulation, and increased infection risk. Proper diabetic footwear is not a luxury; it is a medical necessity.

How Diabetes Affects Your Feet

High blood sugar damages nerves and blood vessels, leading to:

  • Loss of feeling (peripheral neuropathy)
  • Poor blood flow to extremities
  • Increased risk of ulcers and infections
  • Slow wound healing
  • Risk of amputation in severe cases
