Do’s and Dont’s       

• Do Check your feet daily for any sores, redness, wounds.
• Don’t walk bare feet on rough ground or on hot floor(especially be careful while walking bare feet in summer season)
• Do use soft and covered footwear
• While wearing shoes ensure that there is no stone or some other foreign body inside the shoes.
• Ensure that you dry your feet daily after having a bath with a soft towel. Not doing so will keep the space in between the toes moist and lead to fungal infections. These can further lead to cellulitis and wounds on the foot
  

  What is Diabetic Foot Treatment?

  Diabetic foot treatment involves managing and addressing complications that arise from chronic, uncontrolled diabetes. High blood sugar levels can cause nerve damage, changes in foot structure, and increased susceptibility to infections. Proper treatment is essential to prevent serious complications such as ulcers, cellulitis, and infections that are difficult to heal.

  When is Diabetic Foot Treatment Necessary?

  Diabetic foot treatment is necessary when you experience:

  • Reduced Sensation: Due to nerve damage, you may have diminished feeling in your feet, leading to unnoticed injuries.
