Neuropathy occurs when blood vessels experience severe pressure, therefore cutting off the blood supply to longer limbs, like your legs and feet. It’s critical that one examines your legs and feet for any possible cuts, sores, infections, bumps and bruises. A mirror should be used to check any areas that are hard to see.
Type 2 Diabetes can cause many different types of foot problems. Fungal infection of the nails is apparent when the nails become discolored. They can appear to be a dark, yellowish-brown or dull. Sometimes the nails become very brittle and can crumble away from the nail bed. The conditions of your nails can be worsened by the moist, dark environment of shoes thus promoting further fungal growth. Blisters appear by shoes rubbing and irritating the same area on your foot. Blisters are much worse when you have diabetes. There is the possibilty that these may become terrible sores if left untreated by your doctor. So it’s vital to check your inspect both feet frequently.
Minor scrapes and cuts can occur from foot injuries or poor shoes. These minor injuries can become foot ulcers. Ulceration of the feet with infection is extremely for anyone Type II Diabetes.

It’s best to check your feet regularly, and treat any cuts or scrapes on your feet immediately. Prevention is the key; by taking care of a problem like this before it gets worse is the best way to save your feet and health.
Other foot problems that can happen with Type 2 diabetes are calluses, corns, athlete’s foot and dry skin. Although the majority of these are common problems of the feet, when one has any form of Type 2 Diabetes easily makes any of the these conditions more severe e. Any foot problems need to be addressed right away. Treat cuts, sores and scrapes with medication or proper cleaning habits. Never let any damage to tissue, regardless of how small, go without an inspection by your healthcare provider. Untreated foot injuries raise your risk for serious infections.

At this point, doctors are forced to begin removing rotted limbs with use of surgery.
