People with diabetes can develop many different foot problems, including infections and sores. Even ordinary problems can get worse and lead to loss of mobility, or even loss of a leg. Foot problems most often happen when diabetic nerve and blood vessel diseases affect the legs and feet. The latest research is helping us know how to avoid these serious complications.
