Diabetic Foot Care: The Power of a 60-Second Daily Check
For diabetic patients, every minute counts — especially when it comes to foot health. A simple 60-second daily check can detect early warning signs of ulcers, infections, or nerve damage before they turn into serious complications.
🩺 Why It Matters:
Diabetic neuropathy and poor circulation can reduce sensation, making small injuries easy to miss. But daily inspections help prevent:
⚠️ Heel and toe damage
⚠️ Skin ulcers and infection zones
⚠️ Necrosis or tissue breakdown
👣 Daily Foot Check Tips:
✅ Inspect all sides of your feet — including between toes and under heels.
✅ Keep skin moisturized but avoid applying lotion between toes.
✅ Use a mirror or ask a caregiver for help seeing hard-to-reach areas.
✅ Report redness, swelling, or wounds to your podiatrist immediately.
Regular diabetic foot exams save limbs and lives.
Protect your mobility through early prevention and specialized podiatric care.
