Winters are here β and if someone in your home has diabetes, especially uncontrolled diabetes, this message is for you. βοΈ
Cold weather increases the risk of silent foot burns, especially in elderly diabetic patients who warm their feet near heaters while wearing socks.
Because of reduced sensation, they donβt feel the burn, leading to blisters, deep wounds, and in severe cases, even amputation.
This winter, remember:
Avoid keeping feet too close to heaters
Never warm feet while wearing socks
Check elderly diabetic family membersβ feet regularly
Early care can prevent major complications
Stay warm, stay safe, and protect your loved ones this season.
