Health Tips: Reduce your risk of diabetic foot! Take care of your feet and health with these 6 secret hacks...

Diabetics' hard skin, improper growth of toenails, and cuts or blisters on the feet increase the risk of wounds. This can also lead to diabetic foot. If proper care is not taken, the problem can become serious.

To avoid any foot-related problems, it is important for people with diabetes to check and care for their feet daily. Let's learn how diabetics can take care of their feet.

Check daily:

Blisters or cuts

Hardening of the skin

Any wound

Sudden change in skin color

Cracked skin

How to diagnose an infection:

Redness of the skin

Pus or discharge

Skin feeling warm

Fever or chills

Swelling

Smelling or pain

Keep your feet clean.

Wash your feet daily with soap and water, and thoroughly dry the skin, including between the toes. If the skin between the toes appears white, it could be due to moisture.

After cleaning your feet, apply moisturizer, but avoid applying it between the toes.

Filing hard skin or corns thoroughly removes them.

Cut your toenails regularly and file the edges with a filer.

Before wearing shoes
Diabetics always need to protect their feet from injury. Therefore, before wearing shoes, thoroughly clean the inside of your shoes to ensure they are free of sharp objects. Always wear socks or stockings with your shoes to prevent skin friction from causing injuries.

Keep blood sugar levels under control.
High or low blood sugar levels in diabetes can be dangerous. Consult your doctor to keep them under control.

Get your feet checked annually.
It is very important for diabetic patients to get their feet checked at least once a year. During screening or examination of the feet, their sensation is detected, and any kind of foot-related problem is alerted in advance.
