Living with diabetes means paying extra attention to your feet. High blood sugar can damage nerves and reduce blood flow, making even small cuts or blisters dangerous if left untreated.
🔎 Why it matters:
- Nerve damage can cause loss of feeling — you might not notice injuries.
- Poor circulation slows healing, increasing risk of infection.
- Untreated wounds can lead to serious complications.
✅ Simple steps to protect your feet:
- Check your feet daily for cuts, blisters, or swelling.
- Wash and moisturize, but avoid lotion between toes.
- Wear comfortable shoes and clean socks.
- Never walk barefoot.
- See a doctor immediately if you spot wounds that don’t heal.
💡 Remember: Healthy feet = better mobility, independence, and quality of life. Share this post to remind friends and family how important foot care is for people with diabetes!
