Arteriosclerosis is more common with diabetics. This will lead to a reduction in blood and oxygen flow, which will delay the healing of an injury. When blood flow is reduced, the skin and underlying tissues will deteriorate (leading to gangrene).

INFECTION

Diabetic feet have a higher risk of infection, and moreover, will have a harder time healing.
