Diabetes and Poor Wound Healing. Wound healing can be slowed drastically in patients with diabetes. Poor wound healing is one of the leading causes of amputation in diabetics. High blood glucose levels, poor circulation and neuropathy are of some of the reason why diabetics heal poorly. Research from the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts reveals another possible reason for slow and poor would healing. The molecule, PGC-1 alpha, may be the culprit.
Poor foot circulation is sometimes caused by obesity, lack of exercise, or poor food choices. These habits can cause the arteries that carry oxygenated blood and nutrients around the body to become diseased. A diseased artery narrows, preventing the easy flow of blood to organs and muscles. The reduced blood flow results in less oxygen being delivered to all parts of the body, which can hinder the bodyâs ability to function normally. A number of diseases, including diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), and high cholesterol, can also interfere with blood flow and cause poor circulation.
