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.
