What causes diabetic foot ulcers? Diabetic foot ulcers are caused by neuropathic (nerve) and vascular (blood vessel) complications of the disease. Nerve damage due to diabetes causes altered or complete loss of feeling in the foot and/or leg. This is known as peripheral neuropathy.
Dry and itchy skin in diabetics is primarily caused by high blood sugar. The body pulls moisture from tissues to try to counteract the increase in glucose levels, and can leave the skin dry and irritated. Other causes of itching are caused by fungal or yeast infections, diabetic neuropathy and poor circulation. Nerve damage can reduce the body's ability to sweat, drying out the skin. Poor circulation, neuropathy and infections can cause numerous problems in the extremities of diabetics, especially the feet.
