Diabetes can trigger high blood sugar levels which can overtime cause damage to the nerves found in your feet. When this occurs it can bring on a condition known as diabetic neuropathy. There are many different types of Diabetic neuropathy that can affect the nerves in your feet, the most common type is Peripheral neuropathy. This type of neuropathy inhibits the nerves ability to send information to the spinal cord, brain and motor nerves. This can affect the feeling in your feet, it’s ability to regulate temperature and make it harder to move the muscles in them.

Diabetes can also affect the circulation  and as a result make you more prone to skin breakdown and infection. If you suffer from Peripheral neuropathy aswell your are at even greater risk of infection becuase you may not be able to feel when you have damaged your feet before it is too late.
