In a recent feature by Sakshi Newspaper, Dr. Karthik Mikkineni, Co-Founder of RIVEA Vascular Institute, sheds light on one of the most serious yet overlooked complications of diabetes — foot damage caused by poor circulation and nerve injury.

Dr. Mikkineni explains how long-standing diabetes can slow wound healing, increase the risk of infection, and, if untreated, progress to gangrene and even amputation. He highlights the importance of early vascular evaluation, timely treatment, and daily foot care to prevent severe outcomes.
