In the diabetic patients, due to nerve damage and poor blood supply of the foot, various deformities of the toes and feet occur. This causes areas of raised pressures in the soles of the feet, where ulcers develop. These ulcers act as portals for the entry for bacteria leading to serious infections, which in the immuno-compramised diabetic patient, can result in amputations or even death.
