If you have diabetes and do not take precautions to maintain healthy feet, you are likely to suffer foot problems caused by nerve damage, poor circulation and infections. Diabetes decreases blood flow, so injuries are slow to heal.

Foot care

Check your feet and toes, including the tops, sides, soles and heels, for any cracked skin, redness, sores, cuts, blisters and bruises
Use a mirror or ask for help if needed

Wash your feet

Daily in warm water with a gentle soap
Harsh soaps and hot water can damage your skin.
Use your elbow to check the water temperature because your diabetes may make it difficult to sense the temperature with your feet
