A diabetic may have to have his toes amputated after they ‘exploded’ when he stubbed his foot.

David Croft, 41, was enjoying a holiday in his new caravan in Boston, Lincolnshire, on October 31 when he bumped his big toe on a table.

Due to lack of sensation in his feet as a result of his type 1 diabetes, Mr Croft only realised the extent of his injury the following day when he woke to discover his partner Kim Thompson, who also has diabetes, staring in horror at his ‘exploded’ toes.

After being rushed to A&E, Mr Croft, from Workshop, Nottinghamshire, has been told he may require amputation of numerous toes.

He is sharing images of his gruesome injury to raise awareness to other diabetics about the risks of simple injuries.

Mr Croft, who is thought to have diabetic foot, said: ‘I never would have imagined something like diabetes could have such a serious effect.

‘I’d heard about diabetics having to have amputations, but I didn’t think anything of it and certainly didn’t think it would happen to me.’
