About this condition
This is a serious complication where diabetes caused by another medical condition (like Cushing's disease or pancreatic problems) leads to open sores or wounds on the feet that do not heal properly. Poor blood circulation and nerve damage from diabetes make these ulcers dangerous, potentially leading to infection and amputation if not treated promptly. Regular foot care and blood sugar control are critical.
