I’m paraphrasing from a previous question like this. Basically the blood gets spiky (sugar not dissolving) and it tears the blood vessel walls. Blood vessels near fingers and feet are much more frequent and thinner, especially in the feet. So the blood is more likely to rip and tear what’s down there.
