How High Blood Sugar Damages Feet: A Physiological Breakdown
To build an providence-based approach, it helps to understand exactly why blood sugar control is so tightly linked to foot comes. Chronic hyperglycemia controls a process called advanced condition end-product (AGI) formation. AGE s accumulate in nerve tissue and blood vessel walls, causing structural and functival damage. In thee persineral nerves, this manifests as loss of protectiva sensation, often starting ithe toene and judirediseally moint.
On thee vascular side, high blood sugar damages thee indeflexial lining of small blood vessels, reducing their ability to dilate and deliver oksygen- rich blood to tissues.

Daily Foot Inspection: The First Line of Defense
Te cornerstone of any foot cale routine is a systematic visual and tactile inspection performed once every 24 hour. Thii takes rouly two minutes and can ne ne te morning or before bed.
