👣 Spring foot check reminder!

Before activity levels increase:
✔️ Check shoes for wear
✔️ Inspect feet daily
✔️ Address discomfort early

Preventive care is easier than reactive care.

💡 Did You Know?

Increased activity can increase foot pressure and friction. Shoes designed for diabetes help reduce risk by offering extra depth, support, and pressure relief.

Spring is a good time to reassess your footwear. If you are in need of a new pair of shoes to support your feet, give us a call for more information. Medicare allows one pair per calendar year and we are happy to help you through the process.

🚶 Movement supports circulation.

Gentle daily activity helps support blood flow—especially important for people with diabetes. Comfortable, properly fitted shoes designed specifically to support your feet and keep them safe, can make movement easier and safer.

Small steps still count! 👟

❄️ Incoming Ice Storm: Protect Your Feet ❄️

As colder weather and icy conditions move into our area, it’s especially important for people with diabetes to take extra care of their feet.

✅ Keep feet warm – Cold temperatures can reduce circulation. Wear clean, dry socks and well-fitting shoes that allow room for warmth without pressure.
✅ Keep feet dry – Wet socks or shoes increase the risk of skin breakdown and infection. Change socks promptly if they become damp.
✅ Keep feet covered – Always wear shoes or slippers indoors and outdoors to protect against cold surfaces, slips, and injuries you may not feel right away.
✅ Check daily – Look for redness, cracks, blisters, or color changes, especially after being out in cold or wet conditions.

Your feet work hard for you—especially during winter weather. If you have questions about proper footwear, inserts, or foot protection during cold conditions, we’re here to help.

Stay warm, stay safe, and take care of your feet 💙

📣Important Medicare Update for 2026 Patients

Starting Jan 1, 2026 Medicare will no longer accept paperwork for diabetic shoes from Nurse Practitioners (NPs) practicing independently and enrolled in the PCF model.

✅ Any NP or PA practicing under the supervision of an MD or a DO may still sign, but will require the supervising physician to sign as well.

✅ We review all paperwork before submission. If anything needs correction, we guide you through it.

✅Our goal is always the same: fewer delays and smoother approvals for our patients.
