Foot care is extremely important for people with diabetes because diabetes can affect both circulation and nerve function, which increases the risk of serious foot problems. Here’s why:

🦶 1. Reduced Sensation (Neuropathy)

High blood sugar over time can damage nerves, especially in the feet. This can lead to loss of feeling, meaning a small cut, blister, or sore may go unnoticed. Without pain as a warning sign, these injuries can worsen before being treated.

❤️ 2. Poor Circulation

Diabetes can also cause poor blood flow to the feet and legs, slowing down healing and making it harder for the body to fight infection. Even minor wounds can turn into serious ulcers or infections if not managed properly.

⚠️ 3. Higher Risk of Infection

Because the immune system is often compromised, infections can develop quickly. Combined with slower healing, this can lead to serious complications — in severe cases, even the need for hospitalization or amputation.

👣 4. Preventing Complications

Regular foot care — including daily checks, professional assessments by a chiropodist, proper footwear, and nail care — helps catch problems early before they become serious. Preventive care can make a major difference in maintaining mobility and quality of life.

Did you know that wearing the right shoes can make a big difference in preventing falls and keeping your feet healthy? 👣

Here’s why good footwear matters:
✅ Support & Stability: Proper shoes provide balance and help prevent slips and trips, especially on uneven or wet surfaces.
✅ Shock Absorption: Quality soles cushion every step, reducing strain on your feet, knees, and hips.
✅ Proper Fit: Shoes that fit well reduce the risk of blisters, calluses, and pressure points that can affect your gait.
✅ Grip Matters: Non-slip soles help maintain traction, especially during the colder months when surfaces can be slippery.

👟 Tip from your Chiropodist:
Always choose shoes with a wide toe box, firm heel counter, and good traction. Avoid worn-out footwear — if the soles are smooth or uneven, it’s time for a new pair!

At Happy Feet Chiropody Clinic, we’re dedicated to helping you stay steady on your feet and step safely all year long. 💚

November is Diabetes Awareness Month 🦶🏼🩺🥼✨

Caring for your feet every day is a key part of keeping them healthy, especially for individuals with diabetes. When washing, use warm water and a gentle soap. Make sure to take your time drying, paying close attention between the toes to help prevent fungal infections and skin breakdown.

A daily moisturizer helps keep the skin soft and prevents cracking. Just remember to skip the spaces between your toes when applying lotion. Extra moisture in these areas can create the perfect environment for bacteria and fungus to grow. 🧴👣

Small steps add up to big protection. Your feet carry you through life, so give them the attention they deserve. 💚
