Case Summary
- Diabetic foot is a term encompassing serious foot problems in individuals with diabetes, often stemming from minor injuries. Nerve damage (neuropathy), poor blood flow, and a weakened immune system are key contributing factors. Untreated issues can escalate to ulcers, infections, and gangrene, potentially leading to amputation. Early foot care and intervention are essential.
