Foot Care
Remember that if you have diabetes, your feet would require special care. Not only will diabetes cause damage in your nerve endings, it will also prevent your body from fighting infections. Suffering from numbness or reduced sensation in your feet can inhibit your awareness of sores and blisters in your feet that can lead to complications like severe infections, foot ulcers, amputations etc.
In order to prevent complications, medical experts recommend that you check your feet daily for any blisters, cuts and sores. You should also check your shoes for any sharp or rough edges before you put them on. Experts recommend seeking medical attention whenever a diabetes patient develops a foot sore.
