Today is recognized as the World Diabetes day, a global awareness campaign focusing on diabetes mellitus and is held on 14 November each year.
Diabetes is a condition that impairs the body's ability to process blood glucose, otherwise known as blood sugar.
Without on-going, careful management, diabetes can lead to a build-up of sugars in the blood, which can increase the risk of dangerous complications, including stroke and heart disease.
Different kinds of diabetes can occur, and managing the condition depends on the type. Not all forms of diabetes stem from a person being overweight or leading an inactive lifestyle. In fact, some are present from childhood.
Amputation is a major complication of diabetes. If you have diabetes, the doctor has likely recommended that you check your feet each day.
The department of health in KwaZulu-Natal says that Diabetes claims around 2,500 leg amputations a year in the province.
In some cases, diabetes can lead to peripheral artery disease (PAD). PAD causes your blood vessels to narrow and reduces blood flow to your legs and feet. It may also cause nerve damage, known as peripheral neuropathy.
