Overview
History
Symptoms
- Patients with diabetic foot can complain from symptoms include:
- Burning
- Pins and needles sensation
- 50% of the patients with diabetes have some levels of neuropathy prior to diagnosis.[1]
Autonomic neuropathy is the increased or decreased blood flow to the foot (hot foot) with an increased risk of charcot neuroarthropathy, decreased sweating, dry skin, impaired vasomotion and blood flow. These lead to cold feet which ultimately result into the loss of skin integrity, providing a vulnerable site for infection [2].
