Diabetes in the UK today affects over 1.6 million people. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition which is the direct result of too much glucose (sugar) in your blood stream. If your body does not make enough of the hormone insulin, your blood sugar level can be too high. The pancreas (which is a gland located behind the stomach) produces the hormone insulin, which removes glucose from the blood stream into cells. Here it is broken down and energy is released; if you suffer from diabetes then this process will be hampered to a lesser or greater extent.
Diabetes can be a debilitating disease if it not properly treated. The long term health problems associated with diabetes is high glucose levels in the blood stream, which damages and perforates the blood vessels.
Diabetes can cause the following problems with your feet and legs if you suffer from poor circulation:
>Diabetes - can cause the nerve endings in your feet to become damaged
>Diabetes - can cause sores and foot ulcers. If these foot and leg ulcers are left untreated they can become infected and cause numerous health complications
>Diabetes - can cause nerve damaged which may lead you to not feeling cuts or sores on your feet. These can become infected
>Diabetes - good fitting foot are is essential. Your feet may rub inside your shoes and cause ulcers, cuts and sores
>Diabetes - calluses occur more often and build up faster on the feet of people with diabetes. Calluses, if not trimmed, get very thick, break down, and turn into ulcers (open sores)
>Diabetes - diabetic nerve damage (neuropathy) also can lessen your ability to feel pain, heat, and cold. Loss of feeling may mean that you might not feel a foot injury.
Poor circulation (blood flow) can make your foot less able to fight infection and to heal. Use The Circulation Booster to keep your feet and circulation in good health.
Diabetes: there are two types of diabetes:
- The body produces very little or in some cases no insulin. An individual living with this type of diabetes will require medical treatment all their life. They will have to check their glucose levels in their blood stream at regular intervals and look out for complications. Type 1 diabetes, which is commonly known as juvenile diabetes or possibly early onset diabetes, because it usually develops in teenage years or before you reach the age of 40.
- The body can’t either make a sufficient amount of insulin or use the hormone correctly. This is commonly known as insulin resistance. Being overweight can induce this condition and it usually occurs in adults over the age of 40.
Type 1 Diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes)
Type 2 Diabetes (non-insulin dependent diabetes)
Diabetic foot disorders - diabetes today!
Neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease are the main pathological conditions associated with diabetic foot disorders. It is crucial people with diabetes ensure that good healthcare is directed towards the feet to reduce the symptoms associated with diabetic foot disorders. Diabetes can cause foot and leg ulcers, which need to be looked after and cared for. This device will ensure good circulation in the foot and lower limbs, which will remove cell waste and increase oxygen and cell nutrients to help heal leg sores.
Pheripheral vascular disease is usually associated with reduced blood circulation and ischaemia. Peripheral neuropathy of the feet can lead in some cases to motor dysfunction and loss of sensation. These pathological conditions may cause infection and ulceration.
Diabetic foot disease can be divided into five stages:

The Circulation Booster® is registered as a medical device in the UK and thousands of customers have already benefited from either the home or mobile devices. It is specifically designed to increase the blood circulation, which targets the lower leg region.
The Circulation Booster® sends out electrical impulses, which induces muscle stimulation in the feet and lower legs. Muscles contract and release to pump the blood and improve circulation. This in turn, helps to maintain healthy feet. Our customers who have diabetes find that their blood circulation is improved and their fluid retention is decreased which ensures that leg ulcers and pain swelling is kept at a minimum.
Poor leg circulation, which is associated with diabetes, can provide much discomfort including swelling, pain and numbness. By improving the blood circulation in the legs, the risks of these problems are significantly reduced and symptoms of diabetes, such as sores and ulcers on the foot and leg, may be reduced.
