Look for Diabetes foot signs: Documents

Nagpur: Retired Government Employees Sunil Patil will never realize about the severity of his feet ulcer if his seven-year-old granddaughter does not show that her legs suffered injuries and smelled very badly.
Patil, living with diabetes from the last or more decade, realized that he could hardly have the remaining sensation on his feet.
“I rushed to my family doctor after realizing that the wound was really serious.
I don’t remember when and how I got this wound,” Patil said.
According to the doctor, neuropathy or nerve damage often occurs in diabetics, and can cause loss of feelings and numbness among other problems.
“This puts people with diabetes with the risk of serious foot disease because they may not be aware of the wound on it,” said Dr.
Himanshu Patil, Endocrinologist and Diastetologist.
Describing his condition, Dr.
Patil said that diabetics with neuropathy did not feel pain, pressure or temperature.
“They can step into a hot tub boiling without feeling it.
In fact, numbness at their feet makes them feel cold.
Such patients can develop burns, wounds etc.
We call it diabetes feet,” he said.
Compared to non-diabetics, diabetes patients have open wounds and wounds on foot 15 times more likely to develop foot ulcers sometime during their lives.
If not treated, they can become very infected and may lead to amputation or even death.
Foot infections are common reasons for patients with hospitalized diabetes and an estimated 85% of all amputations in diabetics are the result of non-healing diabetes foot ulcers.
Intravascular surgeons manage or amputate the legs in the patient.
Dr.
Vaibhav Lende, who has managed many cases like that, said that neuropathy was serious diabetes complications that could affect 50% of patients.
“It might start between 5 and 10 years of diabetes.
With normal nerves, someone can usually feel whether the shoes are rubbed on foot or if one leg becomes tense when walking.
Diabetes patients with neuropathy loses such sensations and hurt,” he added That people who live with diabetes must consider their feet as a second face and see it in the mirror every day.
“Check your feet every day.
Check your feet once a day for blisters, wounds, cracks, wounds, redness, gentleness or swelling.
If you have trouble reaching your feet, use a hand mirror to see the bottom of your feet,” he said.
