Diabetes & Smoking: Trimming Fungal Toenails
#toenails #dcfootdoctor #podiatry
Both smoking and diabetes can have negative effects on the feet.
Smoking can reduce blood flow to the feet, which can slow down the healing process of wounds and increase the risk of infections. It can also damage the nerves in the feet, leading to a loss of sensation and making it difficult to feel injuries or pain.
Diabetes can also damage the nerves in the feet, a condition known as diabetic neuropathy. This can cause numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in the feet, as well as a loss of sensation. Diabetes can also affect blood flow to the feet, increasing the risk of infections and making it harder for wounds to heal.
If you have diabetes and smoke, you are at an even greater risk of developing foot problems. It is important to quit smoking and properly manage your diabetes to reduce your risk of complications and keep your feet healthy.
