Britons are being warned to be alert to some unusual symptoms appearing in the legs which could indicate a dangerous condition. Diabetes is a serious and often lifelong condition that leads to excessively high blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n

As with any medical condition, the earlier the symptoms of diabetes are identified, the sooner medical help can be sought. However, these warning signs can appear in some unexpected areas.<\/p>\n
Due to high blood sugar levels, the feet represent an area of \u200b\u200bthe body that can suffer significant damage. Diabetes UK states: “Over time, high blood sugar levels, also known as blood glucose levels, can damage the small blood vessels that supply the nerves in your feet”.<\/p>\n
“This stops essential nutrients reaching the nerves. If the nerves in your feet are damaged, you may lose feeling in your feet, known as peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage). This means you may not feel them. things right and you could damage your feet without realizing it”.<\/p>\n
“Damaged blood vessels also reduce the blood supply to your feet, which means you may have problems healing cuts and wounds. You may also have pain and cramps in your feet or soles”.<\/p>\n
