🦶 DIABETES & AMPUTATION Early Care Can Save Your Foot

❗ Why Do Diabetic Patients Lose Limbs?

Diabetes can damage:

1.Nerves → Loss of sensation (you don’t feel wounds)

2.Blood vessels → Poor circulation & slow healing

3.Immunity → Infections spread faster

➡ A small wound can turn into a serious infection if ignored.

⚠️ Warning Signs – Don’t Ignore

1.Non-healing wound or ulcer

2.Black or darkened skin

3.Swelling, redness, pus

4.Foul smell from wound

5.Numbness or tingling

6.Fever with foot pain

👉 Consult a doctor immediately

🩺 Can Amputation Be Prevented?

✅ YES – if treated early!

1.Regular foot check-ups

2.Early wound care

3.Good blood sugar control

4.Proper footwear

5.Timely medical attention
