People with diabetes are at higher risk for nerve damage (neuropathy) and slower healing, which can lead to ulcers and infection. A quick daily self-check helps catch problems early.
Your 1-minute checklist:
✅ Look at tops, soles, heels, and between your toes (use a mirror if needed)
✅ Check for cuts, cracks, blisters, redness, or swelling
✅ Feel for any areas of warmth or tenderness
✅ Peek inside your shoes before putting them on
If you see anything that doesn’t look right, don’t wait—call your podiatrist.

November is National Diabetes Month 💙

Did you know that diabetes can reduce circulation and sensation in your feet? That’s why minor cuts or blisters can turn into serious problems if they’re missed.

👣 Protect your feet by:
-checking them every day for cuts, redness, swelling, blisters, or calluses.
-Washing feet daily and drying well, especially in between toes.

Your feet carry you through your whole life – let’s keep them healthy.

👉 If you live with diabetes, add “daily foot check” to your routine this month and tag someone who needs the reminder.
