🦶 Diabetes & Foot Care: What to Check Every Day
If you have diabetes, checking your feet daily can help prevent serious problems before they start.
Here’s what to look out for 👇
🔍 1. Cuts or sores
Even small wounds can take longer to heal and may become infected.
🔴 2. Redness or swelling
This could be a sign of irritation, pressure, or infection.
🟡 3. Changes in skin colour or temperature
Hot or cold spots may indicate circulation or nerve issues.
🦠 4. Cracked skin or dry heels
These can lead to infections if left untreated.
🦶 5. Changes in nails
Look for thickening, discolouration, or signs of ingrown toenails.
⚡ 6. Numbness or tingling
This may be a sign of nerve damage.
✅ Top Tip:
Check your feet after bathing, and don’t forget the soles and between your toes.
If you notice anything unusual, it’s always best to get it checked early.
