7 Essential Foot Care Tips for People with Diabetes
Managing diabetes effectively is crucial for your overall well-being, especially when it comes to foot care. Neglecting your feet can lead to sores or infections, potentially resulting in serious complications. Follow these seven tips to protect your feet and reduce the risk of infection or amputation.
1. Inspect Your Feet Daily
Carefully check your feet every day, particularly if you have reduced sensation. Unnoticed sores or cuts can escalate into serious issues.
2. Avoid Going Barefoot
Always wear socks or slippers, even indoors. This helps prevent injuries like cuts or stubbed toes.
3. Handle Corns and Calluses with Care
Consult your doctor or a podiatrist to determine the best way to manage corns and calluses.
4. Wash Your Feet Properly
Wash your feet daily with warm, not hot, water. Avoid soaking them, as it can dry out the skin and create cracks.
5. Dry Thoroughly
Ensure your feet are completely dry after washing, especially between the toes, to prevent moisture-related problems.
6. Exercise Regularly
Keep your blood circulation flowing by exercising your feet and legs. Even small movements like rotating ankles or wiggling toes can help.
7. Schedule Professional Check-Ups
Have your feet professionally examined at least once a year. This can often be combined with your annual health check-up for blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels.
Consistent foot care is essential. Seek assistance from family members or professionals like doctors, diabetic nurses, or podiatrists if necessary. These simple steps can significantly lower the risk of painful foot problems.
