Sparing the details, a colleague of mine recently had his big toe amputated due to diabetes. I wondered why being diabetic could lead to this as it’s common.

The legs and feet have poorer circulation especially for the obese who tend towards diabetes. Poor circulation, high sugar, high insulin all contribute to destroying capillaries and the big toe often gets the worst of this.
