Diabetic Foot Problems Beyond the issues with insulin levels, diabetes is a condition that can affect a wide variety of body functions. Close to 50 percent of diabetics suffer from some form of neuropathy, affecting several aspects of their nervous system. Diabetics also suffer from a reduction in blood flow that can lead to difficulties in injury recovery and damage to the blood vessels. Diabetic foot problems are among the most serious, as they can lead to conditions that range from minor pain to amputation. The nerve damage and reduced blood flow suffered by diabetics makes them more susceptible to foot injuries that can go unnoticed. When untreated, their bodies have a harder time fighting infection, which can lead to ulcers or even gangrene. To avoid diabetic foot problems, most doctors recommend a preventive and proactive approach. Properly inspecting one's feet on a daily basis, following a regular routine of foot hygiene and caring for one's toenails properly are but a few typical recommendations. The use of neuromuscular electric stimulators is an additional tool that has shown great success in improving diabetic foot problem by increasing sensitivity and blood flow. The Neuro Care™ 1000 is an incredible device used to fight and help improve a number of conditions linked to diabetes. Through a combination of high voltage and low amperage, our system is capable of maximizing muscle stimulation, and therefore blood flow, while reducing patient discomfort. This substantial increase in blood flow provides diabetics with the ability to repair damaged tissue faster and fight potentially dangerous infections.
