Why is this important? Diabetes is a serious disease that can affect all parts of the body. As a foot doctor, I am very concerned about keeping the feet of diabetics as healthy as possible to prevent amputation, ulcers or sores on the feet, infections, delayed healing, circulation problems, and nerve damage. Watch this blog or my facebook page for the rest of the month for tips on maintaining healthy feet!
1. Tip one- Check your feet everyday (including the bottoms) to make sure there are not any openings in the skin, color changes, areas of drainage, or any other abnormalities. If you notice something is not quite right, contact my office right away for an appointment. 708-763-0580
