Diabetes and Foot Care
Foot problems can become critical in diabetic patients. Hence it is crucial for people with diabetes to take foot care to avoid complications. EuroScrub Foot Scrubber/Safety Mat helps keep feet clean.
Why Diabetes causes foot problems?
The link between Diabetes and foot problems can be found in nervous system malfunctions which is a direct result of the diseases, in turn leading to patients inability to control, co-ordinate or even feel their feet properly. Normal sweating and oil secretion for skin lubrication of the feet starts to slow down significantly in turn leading to the development of sores and wounds on the feet.
In general wound healing is extremely difficult for diabetics due to blood vessel damage as well as immune system deficiencies. Bacterial infections in affected areas are thus also very common. These complications have the potential to finally result in death on cellular levels often characterized by tissue decay. Should complications not treated in time, chances are that the infection will spread into the bloodstream with the possibility of death.
Problem prevent.
