What Happens to Your Feet When Blood Sugar Stays High for Years
Long-term high blood sugar damages feet in ways that can\'t be reversed. The nerves die slowly, stealing your ability to feel pain, temperature, and pressure. Blood vessels become stiff and narrow, reducing circulation to your feet. Skin gets thin and fragile, tearing easily from minor friction. Your immune system weakens, making infections harder to fight. Bones can weaken and deform. These changes happen silently over years until suddenly small injuries become major crises. The only solution is controlling blood sugar now before permanent damage occurs.
