Diabetes can damage blood vessels over time, leading to poor blood circulation, especially in the feet. When circulation is compromised, foot tissues may not receive enough oxygen and nutrients, causing them to weaken, deteriorate, or even die.
Individuals with diabetes are at increased risk of vascular and nerve damage in the feet. At advanced stages, even a minor cut, blister, or infection can progress into deep tissue damage, sometimes requiring surgical intervention. In severe cases, untreated foot complications may lead to partial or complete amputation of a limb.
Proper and timely foot care is essential in preventing these serious complications. At Sugar20 Clinics, we emphasize preventive diabetic foot care as a critical part of diabetes management.

With the right footwear and expert care from Sugar20 Clinics, patients can significantly reduce the risk of foot complications and maintain mobility, comfort, and quality of life.
An X-ray of the foot is a simple, painless test that shows bone shape, pressure points causing ulcers, and whether infection has reached the bone, though early infection may not always be visible. An MRI scan gives a much more detailed picture, showing infection, pus, dead tissue, and bone involvement to help plan proper treatment. MRI uses no radiation, usually needs no injection, takes about 30 minutes, and is very safe for the kidneys.
Nerve damage can reduce sensation in the feet, causing injuries to go unnoticed. Common tests include the monofilament test to check touch sensation, vibration testing to detect early nerve damage, and foot pressure testing to find high-pressure areas that can lead to ulcers. These tests help prevent new wounds and guide the design of special footwear to protect the feet.
Good blood flow is important for wound healing, but many people with diabetes have poor circulation. A Doppler test is a painless, safe outpatient test that checks blood flow in the arteries and veins of the foot and is enough for most patients. If serious problems are found, angiography may be done to show exact blockages and help decide if treatments like angioplasty or bypass surgery are needed to improve blood flow.
Sometimes foot wounds are not caused by diabetes alone. Doctors may look for other problems such as spine issues causing numbness, blood vessel disease coming from the abdomen, or rare conditions like cancer, leprosy, or other infections. To find the exact cause, tests such as MRI, ultrasound, blood tests, or a biopsy may be done.
Diabetic foot problems can affect the whole body, doctors may do several health checks. These include blood sugar testing, kidney and liver function tests, heart tests such as ECG and ECHO, and screening for infections like HIV and hepatitis.
A culture and sensitivity test is done to find the exact bacteria or fungus causing a wound infection. It helps doctors choose the most effective antibiotic for treatment. The test is done by taking a small sample from the wound, and sometimes a blood sample may also be needed.
