Of the 17 million Americans with Diabetes it has been estimated that 25% will develop foot problems related to the disease. Diabetic foot conditions develop from a combination of causes including poor circulation. Neuropathy impairs the feelings in the foot. Those suffering from neuropathy can develop minor cuts, scrapes, blisters or pressure sores that they may not be aware of due to lack of feeling. If these minor injuries are left untreated complications may result and lead to ulceration and possibly even amputation.
