Diabetes can also affect the feet, leading to tingling, burning, and changes in skin, nails, or foot shape. Diabetics are more prone to infections like athlete’s foot or ulcers, which, if untreated, can lead to amputations. In fact, 80% of lower limb amputations in the U.S. are diabetes-related.
Monitoring foot health is crucial for detecting early signs of these conditions. Seeking medical attention promptly can help prevent complications and improve overall health.
