One of the risks in high glucose levels in the blood is blood vessels narrowing. Blood vessels in the legs tend (from various reasons) to do so first. Then the nervous system over there stop passing on feel. You step on a thorn, don’t feel it and don’t notice it for a few days and things get so severe there is no way to save the leg and off it goes…a good way to avoid it? Manage your diabetes.
