In this segment of Tissue Talk Thursdays, we explore the crucial role that tendons play in the biomechanics of diabetic feet, shedding light on the often-overlooked issue of tendon glycation. Discover how high blood sugar causes tendons to stiffen, altering gait, and increasing the risk of ulcers and amputations. We zero in on the Achilles tendon, plantar fascia, and other tendons critical to foot movement, explaining how and why they become compromised in diabetics. Dr. G breaks down the science behind glycation and offers practical, at-home exercises to enhance flexibility and reduce the risk of foot complications. Don't miss this insightful exploration into the biomechanical challenges of diabetes and the effective prevention strategies available to keep your feet healthy.
