The second arterial ischemic. Such diabetic foot can easily be misdiagnosed, the consequences are most serious. Patients because of the long-term impact by high blood sugar, lower extremity vascular sclerosis, vascular wall thickening, elasticity decline, vascular contents easy to form clots, and assembled into a plaque, resulting in lower extremity arterial occlusive disease and lower limb tissue. The "foot" the farthest away from the heart, ischemia where the most serious, causing edema, black, rotting and necrosis.
