Why it matters

Diabetes is a lifelong condition where your body struggles to manage blood sugar levels. Over time, high blood sugar can cause serious damage to the blood vessels and nerves, particularly in your feet. This can lead to a loss of feeling, making it harder to notice injuries. If small wounds go untreated, they can turn into ulcers, infections, or, in severe cases, lead to amputation. Diabetes can also increase the risk of heart disease, kidney problems, and vision loss. But many of these complications can be avoided with early action and day-to-day care.
