Circulation is damaged over time by elevated blood glucose levels. Elevated blood glucose levels also blunts immune response. Neuropathy may prevent the patient from knowing that they have an injured area. This process leads to progressive damage, unchecked bacterial growth and delayed wound healing. Over time each incidence is worse and more progressive until such time as they develop gangrene and lose that limb
