Really random question but it just confuses me how it ends up causing someone to lose a body part

Diabetes destroys the nerve endings which removes your ability to detect small injuries. This can lead to untreated wounds that fester.
Also, severe diabetes can restrict or interfere with circulation as well, which means that the natural cleansing and healing that is supposed to happen, doesn’t. This is often what damages the nerve endings in the first place but it also limits the body’s ability to heal itself, since the body’s self repair systems rely on the bloodstream as a highway to get where they need to be. Restrict that highway, and minor problems that the body would deal with out of hand become a lot more challenging.
