Diabetic Foot: heal wounds NICH

All people with diabetes are able to open sores on the feet. They arise because the veins are clogged there. Then all meat gets to this point have enough nutrients and oxygen, with the time it dies. This drama takes place in some cases, almost unnoticed, because the nerve deserted there, too slow and not forward any more pain signals to the brain.

Usually it all starts innocently: you wear new shoes that rub against the heel a little. A pressure point is created. The falls on any further, because the foot is already on many diabetics become insensitive to pain. May consist of minor injuries initially a deep, infected wound caused because the foot is poor circulation. The body heals with difficulty or not.

The skin can therefore defend against bad bacteria or fungi. Thus, the wound is inflamed even further. Often also from the surrounding tissue dies. The injury may then ignite even the bone and the bone marrow. At worst, the toe or the foot be amputated. About three to four percent of diabetics suffer from this so-called diabetic foot, at about one percent, it must be amputated.
