How can diabetes affect my feet?
"For people with diabetes, having too much glucose (sugar) in their blood for a long time can cause some serious complications, including foot problems. The two main concerns are diabetic neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease.
What is diabetic neuropathy?
"Uncontrolled diabetes can damage your nerves. If you have damaged nerves in your legs and feet, you might not feel heat, cold, or pain. This lack of feeling is called 'sensory diabetic neuropathy.' If you do not feel a cut or sore on your foot because of neuropathy, the cut could get worse and become infected. The muscles of the foot may not function properly because the nerves that make the muscles work are damaged. This could cause the foot to not align properly and create too much pressure in one area of the foot. It is estimated that up to 10% of people with diabetes will develop foot ulcers. Foot ulcers occur because of nerve damage and peripheral vascular disease." *
What is peripheral vascular disease?
"Diabetes also affects the blood vessels and alters the flow of blood. Without adequate blood flow, it takes longer for a sore or cut to heal. Poor blood flow in the arms and legs is called 'peripheral vascular disease.' Peripheral vascular disease is a circulatory disorder that affects blood vessels away from the heart. If you have an infection that will not heal because of poor blood flow, you are at risk for developing ulcers or gangrene (the death of tissue due to a lack of blood).
What are common foot problems of people with diabetes?
"Anyone can get the foot problems shown on the following slides. For people with diabetes, however, these common foot problems can possibly lead to infection and serious complications, such as amputation.
Athlete's foot
"Athlete's foot is a fungus that causes itching, redness, and cracking. Germs can enter through the cracks in your skin and cause an infection. Medicines that kill the fungus are used to treat athlete's foot. These medicines may be pills and/or creams applied directly to the problem area. Ask your doctor to recommend a medication for athlete's foot."
Fungal nail infection
"Nails that are infected with a fungus may become discolored (yellowish-brown or opaque), thick and brittle, and may separate from the rest of the nail. In some cases, the nail may crumble. The dark, moist, and warm environment of shoes can promote fungal growth. In addition, an injury to the nail can put you at risk for a fungal infection. Fungal nail infections are difficult to treat. Medications applied directly to the nail are available, but they only help a small number of fungal nail problems. Oral medications (pills) may need to be prescribed by your doctor. Treatment also may include periodic removal of the damaged nail tissue.
Calluses
"A callus is a build-up of hard skin, usually on the underside of the foot. Calluses are caused by an uneven distribution of weight, generally on the bottom of the forefoot or heel. Calluses also can be caused by improperly fitting shoes or by a skin abnormality. Keep in mind that some degree of callus formation on the sole of the foot is normal. Proper care is necessary if you have a callus.
- After your bath or shower, use a pumice stone to gently remove the build-up of tissues.
- Use cushioned pads and insoles in your shoes
- Medication also may be prescribed to soften calluses.
- DO NOT try to cut the callus or remove it with a sharp object.
Corns
"A corn is a build-up of hard skin near a bony area of a toe or between toes. Corns may be the result of pressure from shoes that rub against the toes or cause friction between the toes. Proper care is necessary if you have a corn.
- After your bath or shower, use a pumice stone to gently remove the build-up of tissues.
- Do not use over-the -counter remedies to dissolve corns
- DO NOT try to cut the callus or remove it with a sharp object.
Blisters
"Wearing shoes that do not fit properly or wearing shoes without socks can cause blisters, which can become infected. When treating blisters, it's important not to "pop" them. The skin covering the blister helps protect it from infection. Use an antibacterial cream and clean, soft bandages to help protect the skin and prevent infection." *
Bunions
"A bunion forms when your big toe angles in toward the second toe. Often, the spot where your big toe joins the rest of the foot becomes red and callused. This area also may begin to stick out and become hard. Bunions can form on one or both feet. They may run in the family, but most often are caused by wearing high-heeled shoes with narrow toes. These shoes put pressure on the big toe, pushing it toward the second toe. The use of felt or foam padding on the foot may help protect the bunion from irritation. A device also may be used to separate the big and second toes. If the bunion causes severe pain and/or deformity, surgery to realign the toes may be necessary." *
Dry skin
"Dry skin can crack, which can allow germs to enter. Use moisturizing soaps and lotions to help keep your skin moist and soft." *
Hammertoes
"A hammertoe is a toe that is bent because of a weakened muscle. The weakened muscle makes the tendons (tissues that connect muscles to bone) shorter, causing the toes to curl under the feet. Hammertoes can run in families. They can also be caused by shoes that are too short. Hammertoes can cause problems with walking and can lead to other foot problems, such as blisters, calluses, and sores. Splinting and corrective footwear can help in treating hammertoes. In severe cases, surgery to straighten the toe may be necessary." *
Ingrown toenail
"Ingrown toenails occur when the edges of the nail grow into the skin. They cause pressure and pain along the nail edges. The edge of the nail may cut into the skin, causing redness, swelling, pain, drainage, and infection. The most common cause of ingrown toenails is pressure from shoes. Other causes include improperly trimmed nails, crowding of the toes, and repeated trauma to the feet from activities such as running, walking, or doing aerobics. Keeping your toenails properly trimmed is the best way to prevent ingrown toenails. If you have a persistent problem or if you have a nail infection, you may need a doctor's care. Severe problems with ingrown nails may be corrected with surgery to remove part of the toenail and growth plate." *
Plantar warts
"Plantar warts look like calluses on the ball of the foot or on the heel. They may appear to have small pinholes or tiny black spots in the center. The warts are usually painful and may develop singly or in clusters. Plantar warts are caused by a virus that infects the outer layer of skin on the soles of the feet. DO NOT use over-the-counter medications to dissolve the wart. If you are not sure if you have a plantar wart or a callus, let your doctor decide." *
Can these foot problems be prevented?
"Proper foot care can help prevent these common foot problems and/or treat them before they cause serious complications. The following slides provide tips for good foot care." *

Recommended CMM's Supplements for Diabetes.
L Asphartic Acid Nano Chelated Calcium (Herbal)
As the WHO points out, “people don’t die of disease , but die of ignorance.”
Cause calcium is the foundation of life. Lowering of calcium leads to various organs’ function decline and even life-threatening. Human natural lifespan is more than 120 years old, but when people are around 70 years old, cause long-term calcium deficiency, people will die.
1. What diseases will be caused by calcium deficiency?
According to data analysis from WHO: among the 135 underlying diseases, more than 120 of them are associated with calcium deficiency, such as Osteoporosis, osteoproliferation hypertension, cardiovascular disease, arteriosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes mellitus, lithiasis, anaphylactic disease, hepatic pathological changes, nephrotic syndrome, premenstrual syndrome and some other cancers.
2. Can CMM Calcium (L-Aspartic Amino Acid Chelated Clcium) reduce the blood sugar of diabetes patients?
Yes, CMM calcium itself is not antidiabetic medication, but it can assist to reduce blood glucose by improving the synthesis and secretion of insulin, improving the sensitivity of the insulin receptor and so on, among diabetes patients who have taken CMM calcium, most people’s blood glucose drops gradually and steadily. They can lessen the intake of anti-diabetes medication or even stop after taking CMM products.
3. Can regular calcium supplement prevent heart disease?
Yes, a new research shows, calcium supplement can help lower blood pressure of patients with hypertension significantly. It not only can prevent hypertension, but also can prevent heart disease.
4. Can calcium prevent arteriosclerosis?
Yes! New research from USA and some other countries shows: calcium supplement can help decrease excessive blood pressure to normal level.
5. Does calcium supplement have beautifying effects?
After taking CMM calcium?many people show that their face rosy and skin supple and soft. calcium supplement can inhibit generation of wrinkle, control senile plaque, calcium can also help to make hair keep normal luster.
6. Why calcium supplement is critically important to pregnant women?
Calcium deficiency can cause skeleton and teeth agenesis, calcium deficiency can also cause newborn teething delay. Rickets will happen easily. It also affects the children’s future intellectual growth. At the same time, newborn who is lack of calcium have weak immune system?most of them are feeble and sick.
7. Why can intake of CMM calcium before sleep help the children to grow tall?
Clinically proved, for the children, during sleeping, endocrinium shows its most active, it also releases most growth hormone. Growth hormone is catalyst that help children to grow tall, at this time with the intake of L-Aspartic Amino Acid Chelated Calcium, it can accelerate bone calcification and maturity, and children will grow taller.
8. Can patients with sequela of apoplexy take CMM calcium?
Yes .modern science research shows that, calcium deficiency and metabolic calcium disorder are important factors which cause hypertension and arteriosclerosis. Patients with arteriosclerosis or hypertension once had cerebrovascular accident will be hemiplegic, have language disorders or suffer Vascular dementia. Sufficient calcium supplement can improve brain microcirculation, then this can prevent recurrence of cerebral apoplexy.
