Health experts have cautioned persons living with diabetes against going without footwear even indoors, noting that doing so could expose them to serious injuries that could result in serious complications later.
Olopade, who is also a diabetologist said wearing footwear is crucial to prevent persons living with diabetes from getting injured which they most times may not be aware of. “They may not have feelings in their feet; they may not have a blood supply to the legs and all that. So, any injury can lead to poor wound healing or non-healing, gangrene. And if there’s gangrene, you’d have to chop off the foot.”
Speaking further, Olopade urged persons living with diabetes to make sure that they prevent pebbles from entering their shoes, noting that such tiny stones can cause micro-injuries which can later develop into bigger injuries to the person.
