However, a doctor said that if a person has diabetes and exhibits a number of symptoms in the foot, he must see the hospital right once, according to the British daily The Sun.
Because they may experience diabetic neuropathy, a form of nerve damage that can result in nerve damage throughout the body, especially in the legs and feet, people with diabetes are more careful about taking care of their feet.
When blood levels of the fraction increase, diabetic neuropathy results, slowly destroying the body’s nerves.
The problematic thing is that when a person loses sensation in his foot, he frequently won’t notice the wound that infects him. People with this health issue experience numbness and discomfort as if needles are injected into the body.
Diabetes patients are urged to keep an eye out for any wounds, ulcers, red patches, blisters filled with bruises, or nail deformities as all of these conditions may result in infection or sepsis and necessitate amputation.
This is what Endocrinology and Diabetes Consultant Mushtaq Abdel Rahman calls a foot assault.
He notes that the phrase was intended to emphasise the significance of early intervention in foot condition.
He goes on, Typically, a patient arrives at the hospital with a foot that is red, swollen, and has an infected sore that could potentially spread.
According to Doctor Mushtaq, this might cause the patient to become seriously unwell and contract sepsis, one of the leading causes of mortality if it is not treated swiftly. In less severe circumstances, it could result in foot amputations.
Some people, he claims, are unaware that their symptoms may be lethal.
He continues by saying that a paramedic won’t treat you appropriately if he is unaware that you are having a foot attack.
The doctor comes to the conclusion that gangrene, which is the death of body tissues as a result of a serious infection and may require amputation, is what you have if you have diabetes or neuropathy and experience numbness in your feet or notice ulcers or swelling there. In this situation, you must go to the hospital right away.
If you experience this foot pain, visit the hospital right away.
