Can people with diabetic foot smoke and drink alcohol?

  Can diabetics still smoke and drink? We have a typical case of a patient who came from Hebi, Henan Province, and whose lifelong hobbies were smoking and drinking. 10 years of diabetes did not stop him, nor did his diabetic foot. As a result, he always had recurrent foot ulcers.  Smoking and drinking have become an essential thing in many people’s lives, and they can do a lot of damage to normal people, not to mention diabetic foot patients. By and large, the effects of alcohol consumption and smoking on diabetic foot, among others, are reflected in the impact on blood vessels.  If you smoke and drink for a long time, it will increase blood pressure in the blood vessels, and for people with plaque in the blood vessels, it is likely to cause the plaque to fall off, thus causing thrombosis, which will not only bring damage to the organs and cause cardiovascular events, but also aggravate the occlusion of the blood vessels in the lower limbs, which is not conducive to the treatment of diabetic foot.  If you smoke for a long time, it will also lead to blockage of blood vessels and poor blood flow. While treating diabetic foot patients, blood is usually important, not only to lower the protein cholesterol index and reduce the ulceration of the foot and leg, thus achieving the auxiliary treatment of diabetic foot symptoms.  In addition, smoking and drinking alcohol also have a negative impact on diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia, which can affect the overall health of the patient and ultimately be detrimental to the rehabilitation and treatment of diabetic foot trauma.  In conclusion, people who are unfortunate enough to have developed diabetic rotten feet should make changes in their lifestyle, and it is best not to smoke or drink to avoid adding to the wound.
