Importance of neuropathy in diabetic foot care.

Neuropathy is intrinsically linked in diabetes to complications. It can lead to the development of diabetic foot ulcers, to a rare complication of the foot bones called chaco-neurothoropathy, and of course you can also develop a neuropathic pain. The neuropathy of diabetes does not develop overnight, it's a slow gradual process and therefore good diabetes control very early on is a powerful tool and well proven to reduce the risk of developing diabetic neuropathy. risk factors for getting diabetic neuropathy apart from diabetes control and the duration of the diabetes include high blood pressure as well as circulatory problems.
