(Medical-NewsWire.com, January 13, 2015 ) Titusville, FL -- Diabetes leads to complications. Some are easy to manage such as skin bacterial and fungal infections, and itching; others are more difficult to treat such as cataracts, glaucoma, and retinopathy. Worse cases are foot problems that could lead to amputation.
The root cause of these problems is the nerve damage and poor blood circulation. Thus, in order to prevent worst-case scenarios or the root cause of the problem should be addressed. Hydrofeet shoe inserts are proven to improve blood circulation by providing reflexology therapy-like foot massages.
Based on the report from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are 29.1 million Americans who have diabetes this year. The total direct and indirect spending for treating diabetes was $245 billion dollars in 2012. In 2010, 73,000 underwent non-traumatic lower limb amputation among the long list of diabetic patients.
More than anything else, diabetes affects the patients' foot. According to MedicineNet.com, diabetes causes the growth of bunions, hammertoes, corns and calluses, fungal infections, ingrown toenails, and skin drying. These minor problems are all brought about by peripheral artery disease (PAD) and peripheral neuropathy.
When a person has diabetes, he develops PAD and peripheral neuropathy that makes his feet numb because of nerve damage. For instance, a patient would not be able to feel that the shoes he is wearing is tight, causing the development of corns and calluses. Moreover, a diabetic patient might not know that he had just had his foot cut due to a thorny bush. This small wound could grow and become infected without the patient noticing.
The aforementioned foot problems may lead to bigger problems. The wound could get infected, the tissues in it could die leading to a gangrene, and that part of the feet must need to be amputated to prevent the other tissues from getting infected as well.
At the onset of diabetes, patients should use products that would help improve their blood circulation. Hydrofeet therapeutic massaging insoles are made of FDA-approved liquid glycerin that provides massage as the patients walk. The liquid goes back and forth the thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) covering to give the patients their needed feet stimulation.
In addition, Hydrofeet does not have any sharp edges that could cut or puncture the patients' feet. According to Mayo Clinic, diabetics should make sure that their feet will be always safe from possible harm that walking barefoot and wearing inappropriate footwear could bring.
Midwest Health Solutions is an official seller of Hydrofeet massaging insoles that can be purchased through Amazon.
