Early Signs of Diabetic Foot Often More Noticeable at Night: MD Podiatrist

The condition diabetic foot affects about half of people with diabetes. “This can be a serious condition, because peripheral neuropathy can lead to increased falls, cause pain, and lead to decreased quality of life,” says Dan Michaels, DPM.
 
Recognizing the early signs of diabetic foot is essential, but can be difficult. “The earliest warning signs can be vague and go unnoticed,” since they are subtle and not easy to feel due to nerve damage, says Dr. Michaels. Early symptoms are often more noticeable at night, Michaels says.
