14. DISCUSSION
A diabetic foot is a foot that exhibits any pathology that results directly
from diabetes mellitus or any long-term (or "chronic") complication
of diabetes mellitus.
Over time, diabetes may cause nerve damage, also
called diabetic neuropathy, that can cause tingling and pain, and can make you
lose feeling in your feet. When you lose feeling in your feet, you may not feel a
pebble inside your sock or a blister on your foot, which can lead to cuts and
sores. Cuts and sores can become infected.
Diabetes also can lower the amount of blood flow in your feet. Not having
enough blood flowing to your legs and feet can make it hard for a sore or an
infection to heal. Sometimes, a bad infection never heals. The infection might
lead to gangrene.
