Diabetic foot problems are usually caused by neuropathy, poor circulation, reduced resistance to disease and foot deformities, such as bunions. If not treated, diabetic foot problems can lead to hospitalization and in many cases, amputation.
Diabetic Neuropathy, is the most common and potentially dangerous foot problem. When people with Diabetic Neuropathy suffer a loss of feeling to their feet, they expose themselves to leaving lesions, burns, bunions and other foot maladies untreated.
It is extremely important to take good care of your feet. You should wash and inspect your feet daily. You should also use lotion daily, such as Neurelief; a therapeutic lotion specifically formulated to sooth feet, but avoid applying lotion in between your toes. Do not attempt to treat any foot maladies you may find, but instead see your doctor. Also see your doctor if you experience any numbness, tingling or pain in your feet.
