According to the American Diabetes Association, about 15.7 million people (5.9 percent of the United States population) have diabetes. Nervous system damage (also called neuropathy) affects about 60 to 70 percent of people with diabetes and is a major complication that may cause diabetics to lose feeling in their feet or hands.

 

Foot problems are a big risk in diabetics. Diabetics must constantly monitor their feet or face severe consequences, including amputation.

 

With a diabetic foot, a wound as small as a blister from wearing a shoe that's too tight can cause a lot of damage. Diabetes decreases blood flow, so injuries are slow to heal. When your wound is not healing, it's at risk for infection. As a diabetic, your infections spread quickly. If you have diabetes, you should inspect your feet every day. Look for puncture wounds, bruises, pressure areas, redness, warmth, blisters, ulcers, scratches, cuts and nail problems. Get someone to help you, or use a mirror.

There are many reasons for nails to be deformed and discolored. The most common cause is fungus. This organism likes to grow in warm dark moist areas. There is probably no better place than in a shoe. Another area is from the shower, which if not cleaned well, can harbor this infection. The toenail when infected, might only have a light yellowing or white spots on the nail. As the infection develops the toenail will get thicker and discolored. It gets difficult to cut and can start to accumulate debris under the toenail. Once one toenail gets infected others are likely to follow.
