ORTHOFEET & DR COMFORT
Diabetes causes nerve damage and reduces circulation that can be detrimental to your feet. Deterioration of your peripheral nerves (Neuropathy) reduces sensation in your extremities, so you may not feel when you hurt your feet. Poor blood circulation makes it difficult for foot injuries and infections to heal. A small bump or cut can result in serious consequences if it goes without timely medical attention.
