Explanation:

Slow healing : pathogens can enter the open wound and cause infections, worsening the wounds. If the problem continues, parts of body will require removal(cutting off).

Neuropathy: as the sensations are loss, receptors no longer react to contact stimuli & reflexes can't be conducted on time for survival pruposes. For example, if the skin touches a hot object, the receptors on skin will not react to the heat & remove itself away from the stimuli.
