D. Keep nails trimmed. Use an emery board for filing so you don’t hurt your skin.
E. Protect your feet. Always wear shoes or slippers to protect feet from injury. Don’t use a heating pad or hot water bottle to warm your feet.
F. Get checkups at the doctor. On each visit, make sure the doctor inspects your feet.
G. Don’t use corn removers or other drugstore foot treatments. These can be harmful. Let a doctor treat your foot problems.
H. Wear properly fitted shoes. Also, wear socks at all times to prevent injury.
In addition to all of that, Inspect Feet Daily if You Have Diabetes
It is recommended that those with neuropathy inspect their feet on a daily basis for cuts, any signs of redness, calluses, or blisters. Using a little mirror can help. Also, it’s important to moisturize. But avoid getting it between the toes, because that area is already moist. So extra moisture tends to cause fungal infections.
Even if you have diabetes, caring for your feet is easy. It’s best to do it when you are bathing or getting ready for bed. And remember that good foot care also involves getting medical help early if a problem develops. It’s very important to see your doctor for treatment right away — to prevent serious complications like infections.
