Diabetic Foot Pain – Symptoms, Causes & Treatments

Alcohol

Consuming too much alcoholic drinks could also lead to diabetic foot pain. In fact, this is the second-leading cause of the condition, after diabetes. The main reason is that drinking would affect your blood circulation. Excessive consumption will make your blood vessels narrow, meaning that less oxygen and minerals are carried to your feet. Thus, you would experience increased pain and numbness in these areas. It is better to limit your drinking habits to reduce the risks and improve your symptoms. [9]
