Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): Diabetic Foot

Diabetic foot is a term used to describe a range of foot-related problems that can occur in people with diabetes. Diabetes can cause a variety of complications, including nerve damage and poor blood flow, which can increase the risk of foot problems.

Common foot problems associated with diabetes include neuropathy (nerve damage), calluses, foot ulcers, and foot infections. Neuropathy can cause a loss of sensation in the feet, which can make it difficult for a person to detect injuries or other problems. Calluses are thickened areas of skin that can form on the feet as a result of poor circulation or pressure on certain areas of the foot. Foot ulcers are sores that can develop on the feet and are often difficult to heal due to poor blood flow. Foot infections can occur as a result of foot ulcers or other foot injuries, and can lead to serious complications if left untreated.

Preventing foot problems is an important part of diabetes management, and involves maintaining good blood sugar control, properly caring for the feet, and wearing appropriate footwear. It is also important for people with diabetes to have regular foot exams, and to seek medical attention if they experience any foot-related problems.

Overall, diabetic foot refers to a range of foot-related problems that can occur in people with diabetes, and is an important area of focus in diabetes management.
