In the right hands

Managing diabetes shouldn't mean giving up an active life, it just means giving your feet a little extra attention each day. A simple routine can help you stay ahead of complications and keep doing what you love.

Why Daily Checks Matter

Diabetes may reduce sensation and circulation in the feet, which can allow small injuries to go unnoticed and heal more slowly than they should.

Your Daily Checklist

• Check both feet for cuts, blisters, or redness
• Wash and dry feet thoroughly
• Moisturize to prevent cracked skin
• Trim nails straight across
• Inspect the inside of your shoes before wearing them
• Avoid going barefoot

When Should I See a Provider?

You may want to consider scheduling an evaluation if a wound isn't healing, if you notice numbness or tingling, or if it's been a year or more since your last diabetic foot exam. Regular checkups can help catch issues before they become serious.
