Introduction We all know diabetes caused due to
too much sugar in the blood. But do you know
diabetes can damage the nerves and blood vessels
of the foot?   This damage can cause numbness
and reduce the sensitivity feeling in your feet.
With this, your foot couldn't heal well if they
are injured. If you get a blister, you may not
notice it and it can get worse. So today we
discuss the risk factor Diabetic Foot Care
Problem and Cure in the article.

Why Foot care is Important Preventative measures
can greatly reduce the chances of foot
complications.  Over time, diabetes can cause a
decrease in the sensitivity of the feet,
resulting in a wound or burn being overlooked.
Circulatory problems can also arise due to the
thickening of the arteries and loss of arterial
elasticity, which can adversely affect wound
healing and increase the risk of
gangrene.  However, several studies show that
preventive measures can greatly reduce foot
complications, help keep your skin healthy, and
prevent injury to your feet.  Must read - How

  • Socks and Shoes
  • Wear socks properly fitting, white, or light
    colored cotton socks, avoiding tight elastic that
    constricts blood flow or seams that put pressure
    on the dry skin. Change your socks every day,
    turn them inside out when you wash them, and dry
    them on the hot cycle. 
  • Wear soft shoes that are comfortable as soon as
    you buy them. Shop for shoes late in the day when
    your feet are at their most swollen. The sole
    should be flexible and the heel not higher than 5
    cm. Before putting on your shoes, check inside
    them by hand for any small objects (e.g., a
    pebble, nail, key), or tears or creases in the
    lining. Make sure to apply Moisturizing Foot
    Cream for because to make them healthy. 
  • Always wear rubber sandals or flip flops in
    public spaces such as swimming pools, beaches,
    and showers. Never walk barefoot.

If you have a Foot Problem Injury  Clean the
wound with cooled saltwater and cover it with a
dry dressing, taking care not to squeeze the
foot. Do not apply adhesive tape directly to
the skin.  Check every day for signs of
infection, such as redness, heat (to the touch),
swelling, odour, or discharge. If you detect any
of these, see your doctor or get to a walk-in
clinic as soon as possible.  Pain  If youre
experiencing foot pain, see your doctor or go to
a walk-in clinic to be assessed and to obtain
prescription painkillers, if required.  Circulati
