If you have diabetes or a family history of diabetes, you should take extra care of your feet. You might have heard that people who have diabetes are at a higher risk of losing their toes, feet or legs. Why is this so? Diabetes makes you lose the feeling in your feet. When this happens, you can't tell when you have a cut, sore, blister or callus. To make matters worse, diabetes reduces blood flow to your feet, which reduces healing time.
