Diabetes and the Foot

Diabetics are at higher risk of developing foot complications.  Diabetes often results in poor circulation in the lower legs and feet and has the potential, if preventative measures are not taken, to cause any of the following complications of the feet:

  • Damaged nerves (neuropathy), resulting in loss of sensation
  • Deterioration of blood vessels
  • Skin breakdown
  • Ulcers
  • Possible amputation

Minor cuts, blisters, sores, etc. may not be felt or noticed right away, allowing them to progress into a more serious complication such as an ulcer or infection.

Prevention is Key!

Properly fitted, therapeutic shoes are critical to protecting sensitive feet.  Shoes designed specifically for diabetic feet help prevent blisters, sores and skin breakdown.  Certain features, not found in ordinary shoes, help provide a proper fit.  RelanoTM diabetic shoes are designed to cushion and protect the feet.
