You should pay very close attention to your feet, as this is one of the most frequently affected parts of the body among diabetics. Diabetes can cause nerve and blood vessel damage. Diabetics should check their feet daily. Once damage occurs to the feet, it can develop into ulcers if untreated, sometimes resulting in amputation.
