Diabetes, a common health condition in which your blood glucose levels are too high, or your body does not use insulin efficiently. It compromises the health of your eyes, skin, liver, kidney, blood vessels, and feet. It makes it very difficult to fight off infections because it suppresses your immune system.
The tingling and numbness in your feet are caused by diabetic nerve damage. Making you more susceptible to injuries. Since it weakens your immune system, the healing process will take longer for your foot wound. And without proper treatment from a podiatrist, the wound can worsen.
