Foot care is extremely important for those who have diabetes. Diabetics often suffer from poor blood circulation, which means that open foot wounds, or ulcers, may heal slowly. For those who have diabetes and a foot wound, it is imperative to see a podiatrist immediately. Seeing a podiatrist regularly is an important step in maintaining proper foot health. In addition to this it is recommended that you inspect your feet daily for any abnormalities. Wearing well-fitted shoes can help prevent blisters and other foot conditions from occurring by providing adequate space for your feet. Diabetes can be a difficult condition to live with, but by following some simple health tips it can be managed.

Diabetic Foot Care

Diabetes affects millions of people every year. The condition can damage blood vessels in many parts of the body, especially the feet. Because of this, taking care of your feet is essential if you have diabetes, and having a podiatrist help monitor your foot health is highly recommended.

The Importance of Caring for Your Feet

• Routinely inspect your feet for bruises or sores.
• Wear socks that fit your feet comfortably.
• Wear comfortable shoes that provide adequate support.

Patients with diabetes should have their doctor monitor their blood levels, as blood sugar levels play such a huge role in diabetic care. Monitoring these levels on a regular basis is highly advised.

It is always best to inform your healthcare professional of any concerns you may have regarding your feet, especially for diabetic patients. Early treatment and routine foot examinations are keys to maintaining proper health, especially because severe complications can arise if proper treatment is not applied.
