Diabetes Care & Education
Consistent, gentle care makes a meaningful difference. These evidence-informed habits can help you stay ahead of common diabetes-related foot concerns.
Check your feet every day for cuts, blisters, redness, or swelling. Use a mirror for hard-to-see areas and report any changes to your care team promptly.
Keeping blood sugar within your target range supports circulation and nerve health, lowering the risk of foot complications over time.
Apply a fragrance-free moisturizer to keep skin from cracking, but avoid between the toes where excess moisture can lead to infection.
Schedule regular visits with your healthcare provider for professional foot exams and personalized guidance on your routine.
