This
video is about diabetic foot disease and why people with diabetes are
losing their legs. There are blood vessels which carry good blood and
ones which carry bad blood. The vessel which carries good blood is
called artery. People with diabetes may develop blocks in the arteries
of their legs resulting in gangrene which is death of the tissue. This
is more common in people with diabetes, blood pressure, high cholesterol
and in people who smoke or use tobacco in any form.
