In case of uncontrolled diabetes, a serious and deep-seated foot infection can lead to loss of a toe, foot, or leg amputation to save the patient’s life. High blood sugar will slowly injure the blood vessels, nerves, and organs in the body.

The damage will be high if the blood sugar is high. Smoking and alcohol will increase the risk manifold.

Reduced blood flow to nerves combined with high blood sugar will result in nerve pain, burning, numbness.

The complications of High Blood Sugar can be kept under control by keeping the Blood Sugar level under control.
