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. Call INSTRIDE FAMILY FOOT CARE today to schedule your diabetic foot exam. We have two convenient locations to serve you.
