What are the early symptoms of diabetic foot disease? Diabetic foot disease is one of the manifestations of diabetic complications. If it can be detected early and corresponding treatment measures are taken, the condition can be effectively controlled. Therefore, understanding the early symptoms of diabetic foot is very important. Next, we will invite experts from Yikang Peripheral Vasculitis Hospital in Shanxi to introduce the early symptoms of diabetic foot disease.
What are the early symptoms of diabetic foot disease?
1. Lower extremity vascular lesions caused by diabetes
Chronic peripheral neuropathy complications in diabetic patients, especially sensory complications in diabetic patients, lead to loss or abnormal sensation. For example, abnormal sensations in the extremities, especially in the feet, such as numbness, walking feels like stepping on cotton, or a needle-like sensation, etc., are all peripheral neuropathy complications in diabetic patients.
If the dorsalis pedis artery pulse weakens or disappears (of course, we often use the method of comparing both feet), then he may have diabetic foot disease, and a foot color Doppler ultrasound examination should be performed. If there is blockage in the above-mentioned main vessels and large plaques form, it can be diagnosed as diabetic foot disease.
2. Infection
What are the early symptoms of diabetic foot disease? On the basis of peripheral vascular and nerve complications, due to inadequate protective measures, improper wearing of shoes, socks, cutting nails, etc., skin damage occurs. All these issues are referred to as diabetic foot disease.
3. Peripheral neuropathy caused by diabetes
Chronic peripheral vascular complications in diabetic patients. In the early stage, this peripheral vascular complication will present a series of clinical manifestations due to the gradual narrowing of the blood vessel lumen, including numbness, pain in the lower extremities, and shorter walking distance. This is called intermittent claudication, or patients experiencing pain even when sitting still. These are all peripheral vascular complications in diabetic patients.
Early detection of neuropathy mainly involves checking for symptoms such as pain, numbness, heat, or pricking pain. A nylon filament sensation test and electrophysiological examination (median nerve, toe nerve, anterior tibial nerve) can be conducted.
