👀 Can you see me now?

The importance of visibility on our roads cannot be understated, particularly for vulnerable road users including pedestrians, cyclists, e-scooter drivers and motorcyclists.

Now that we have your attention, we are urging all road users to:

✅ Wear or use high-visibility clothing and accessories

✅Use appropriate lighting on bicycles, motorcycles, e-scooters and vehicles

✅Drive using dipped headlights at all times of day during the winter period

✅Slow down and anticipate vulnerable road users, allow extra space for overtaking on rural roads in particular

✅Be extra vigilant during hours of low light

As Ireland enters the darkest months of the year, the message is simple: If you can be seen, you can be safer.

🦶 Winter Foot Care Tips for People with Diabetes ❄️

Cold, wet weather can be tough on your feet, but a few simple steps can help keep them healthy and protected this winter!

✅ Keep feet clean & dry
Change your socks daily (or whenever they get damp) and wear waterproof footwear. If your shoes get wet, switch to a dry pair as soon as possible.

👀 Inspect your feet daily
Check all over, especially between your toes. If you notice any issues contact your podiatrist.

💧 Moisturise daily
Apply moisturiser to prevent dry skin, but avoid putting it between your toes.

🔥 Avoid extremes of heat
Keep your feet warm, but don’t use hot water bottles or sit too close to fires or heaters. Aim for a steady, comfortable temperature.

✂️ Trim toenails carefully
If you have difficulty trimming them, or notice any foot problems, book an appointment with your podiatrist.

Your feet work hard all year, give them some extra care this winter! 💙
