Join Riverside Diabetes Educator Karen Mathews as she explains how unmanaged diabetes can lead to peripheral vascular issues. She explains that high levels of blood sugar cause the blood to move slower, meaning slower delivery of oxygen to parts of your body. As your feet are the farthest from your heart, she explains how important it is to maintain proper footcare as diabetes can cause numbness, pain and burning in the feet. Even without those issues, it is key to check your feet every day as sores, cuts or wounds can take a long time to heal and can become dangerous if left untreated.
