To prevent diabetic foot issues, you should inspect your feet daily for any cuts, blisters, or sores, and wash and dry them thoroughly each day. Wear well-fitting shoes and clean socks, and avoid walking barefoot. It's also crucial to moisturize dry skin, keep toenails trimmed straight across, and see a healthcare professional for any concerns, regular foot exams, and professional treatment of issues like corns or ingrown toenails.
Daily foot care
Inspect your feet: Check daily for blisters, cuts, cracks, swelling, or sores. Use a mirror or ask a family member for help if you can't see the bottoms of your feet.
Wash your feet: Use lukewarm water and mild soap, then dry them thoroughly, especially between the toes.
Moisturize: Apply a gentle lotion to dry skin to prevent cracking, but avoid putting lotion between your toes.
Trim toenails: Cut toenails straight across and use an emery board to file down any sharp edges to prevent ingrown nails. If you have difficulty, have a professional do it.
Check for temperature: Feel for differences in skin temperature between your feet, and be cautious with heat, such as testing bathwater with your hand before getting in.
Footwear and socks
Wear well-fitting shoes: Choose shoes that are supportive and don't rub or pinch. Buy shoes in the afternoon when your feet may be slightly swollen.
Avoid walking barefoot: Never go barefoot, even indoors. Wear shoes or slippers to protect your feet from injuries.
Wear appropriate socks: Wear clean, dry socks daily. Choose seamless, moisture-wicking socks that fit properly.
Protect from temperature extremes: Don't put hot water bottles or heating pads directly on your feet. Wear lined, waterproof boots in winter and wear shoes at the beach or on hot pavement.
Other important practices
Control your blood sugar: Keeping your blood glucose levels in your target range helps prevent nerve damage and improves circulation.
Exercise regularly: Regular physical activity improves blood circulation in your feet.
Don't smoke: Smoking damages blood vessels and significantly increases the risk of foot complications.
See a professional: Get regular foot exams from your doctor or a podiatrist. They can also properly treat corns, calluses, or ingrown toenails if you have them.
Act on any concerns: If you notice any new swelling, warmth, rednes
