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.

Diabetes causes nerve damage if not managed well. People with this nerve damage in their feet can’t feel them properly. Then any injuries that their feet may get are not felt and therefore not treated. This causes the injuries to become more serious than they would normally be and can result in the need for amputation.
