Diabetes Sign #9: Foot Numbness
Diabetes is also a condition that is associated with poor circulation causing red blood cells to move more slowly. The poor circulation and poor blood sugar control can cause nerve damage which leads to foot numbness. This is also known as diabetic neuropathy.
If left uncontrolled, it can lead to serious complications such as numbness and pain. Foot numbness also makes it hard for diabetics to tell if there is a wound, increasing the risk of infection and amputation.
