Good diabetes management and regular foot care help prevent severe foot sores that are difficult to treat and may require amputation. Diabetes complications can include nerve damage and poor blood circulation. These problems can lead to skin sores (ulcers) on the feet that can get worse quickly.
Preventative measures include managing chronic conditions like diabetes and peripheral artery disease, avoiding severe infections, wearing protective gear to prevent injuries, and seeking prompt medical care for any wounds or injuries.
