In a person with diabetes, the body cannot process normal sugar intake. Usually when you take in food, the sugar in the food is broken down into glucose, which is then sent throughout the body to reach body cells for absorption as fuel.

One of the problems caused by diabetes is feet damage. Let's examine in closer detail, how diabetes affect your feet. Diabetes damages the nerves in the extremities.
