For people living with diabetes, foot health is non-negotiable. Reduced sensation, circulation issues, and slower healing mean small problems can quickly turn into serious complications.
Daily Care Checklist:
Inspect your feet daily, check between toes and under the foot.
Moisturize dry skin (but avoid between the toes).
Wear shoes indoors to prevent accidental injuries.
Never walk barefoot on hot sand or pavement.
When to See a Podiatrist Immediately:
Cuts, blisters, or wounds that aren’t healing.
New swelling, redness, or warmth.
Changes in skin color or temperature.
Preventative care can save limbs … and lives. Schedule regular foot checks with a podiatrist.
