Understanding Obesity & Diabetic Foot Complications

Obesity is a chronic condition characterized by excessive body fat, which can negatively affect your health. It is associated with a higher risk of developing several serious health issues, including diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and joint problems.

In the context of diabetes, obesity can worsen blood sugar control and increase the risk of developing diabetic foot problems.

Diabetic Foot

Diabetic foot complications refer to a range of issues affecting the feet of individuals with diabetes, such as nerve damage (neuropathy) and poor circulation, which can lead to infections, ulcers, and even amputations if not properly managed.

How Obesity Affects Diabetic Foot Health

Excess weight puts added pressure on the feet and can contribute to poor circulation, exacerbating the complications of diabetes. High blood sugar levels also impair the body’s ability to heal, making foot wounds and ulcers harder to treat. Over time, these complications can lead to infections, tissue damage, and in severe cases, the need for amputation.

Symptoms of Diabetic Foot Complications

Numbness or tingling in the feet (due to neuropathy)
Foot pain or sensitivity, especially when walking
Foot ulcers or open sores that don't heal
Infections or swelling
Changes in foot shape, such as the development of hammertoes or Charcot foot
Dry, cracked skin on the feet
Calluses or blisters that turn into ulcers
Foul odor from the feet (sign of infection)

Obesity Management

Our Expertise

Comprehensive Weight Loss Plans: We offer personalized weight loss programs that include dietary counseling, exercise plans, and behavioral therapy.
Medical Weight Loss: Prescription medications and weight loss therapies for patients who need additional support in their journey to healthier weight management.
Surgical Solutions: For those with severe obesity, we offer bariatric surgery (such as gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) to help achieve long-term weight loss and reduce the risk of obesity-related complications.

Diabetic Foot Care

Early Detection and Prevention: Regular screenings for diabetic foot complications to catch problems early before they progress to more severe issues.

Why Early Treatment Matters

Obesity can worsen existing health conditions and lead to complications that are harder to treat, while diabetic foot problems can result in life-altering consequences if not managed promptly. Early intervention in both areas is critical to improving long-term health outcomes and reducing the risk of serious complications.
