DIABETIC FOOT CARE

Diabetes is a serious disease that can result in devastating complications, if not properly managed. Diabetes affects every part of your body from head to toe. Daily foot care is very important to prevent sores and amputations. You should inspect your feet daily for sores or red areas from ill-fitting shoes. Check shoes for debris that could injure your foot. Cut and file toe nails straight across, taking care not to cut them too short. Your skin should be moisturized daily. Even well controlled diabetics with no complications need a thorough foot exam at least once a year.
