The foot is especially affected by diabetes because diabetes damages the nerves (damage can occur to the foot and not be detected). Diabetes also affect the circulation. Poor circulation can affect the ability of the body to heal when damage occurs. Those with diabetes are more prone to infection - the body's processes that normally fight infection respond slower and often have trouble getting to infections due to the poor circulation.

With that said...

Do you look after your feet on a regular basis?
