Cardiologist Warns: 9 Foot Signs of Hidden Diabetes After 60 |Dr. William Li

#Type2Diabetes #Over60Health #PeripheralNeuropathy 9 foot signs of diabetes after 60 — cardiologist and heart surgeon Dr. William Li reveals the early warning signs your feet are giving you long before any blood test catches the problem. Diabetes is not just a sugar disease — it is a vascular disease. And the blood vessels furthest from your heart are the first to fail. That's why your feet show the earliest, clearest warning signs of high blood sugar, often two to three years before a formal diagnosis. In this video, Dr. Marcus Okoro walks you through 9 specific foot signs every adult over 60 should know — from tingling and numbness, to burning at night, to cracked heels, to the one sign almost nobody connects to diabetes. If you've been told your foot symptoms are "just aging," this video could change your life. The Centers for Disease Control reports that diabetic foot complications are the leading cause of non-traumatic leg amputations in the United States — over 100,000 every year — and almost all of them started as small, ignored warning signs. This is not a sales pitch. There is nothing to buy. The single most important thing you can do after watching is take off your socks tonight, examine both of your feet for thirty seconds, and if you see even one of these signs, schedule a fasting glucose blood test this week. It costs about twelve dollars and is covered by Medicare. It could save your independence — or your life. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Walter's Story 01:40 Sign 1: Tingling & Numbness 02:45 Sign 2: Burning at Night 03:54 Sign 3: Wounds That Won't Heal 05:05 Sign 4: Skin Discoloration 06:37 Sign 5: Cracked Heels 07:53 Sign 6: Persistent Swelling 09:13 Sign 7: Sharp Nighttime Pain 10:22 Sign 8: Cold Feet 11:46 Sign 9: Hair Loss 13:41 Your Homework 📚 RESEARCH SOURCES: 1.
