Diabetes and your feet: the two minute daily check

If you have diabetes, a short look at your feet each day is one of the best ways to prevent serious problems.

Diabetes can reduce feeling in your feet and slow down healing. That means a small blister can turn into a wound before you notice it.

Your daily routine

  • Look at the tops, bottoms, and between your toes
  • Use a mirror or ask someone to help if it is hard to see
  • Check for cuts, blisters, redness, or swelling
  • Keep skin moisturized, but not between the toes

When to see us

Call us right away if you find a wound that is not healing, or new redness or warmth. We also recommend a diabetic foot exam at least once a year.
