Diabetic Foot Care

People living with diabetes may be at greater risk for circulation problems, loss of sensation, infections, and wounds that are slow to heal. Regular foot evaluations can help identify concerns early and reduce the risk of more serious complications.
Patients with diabetes should contact a healthcare provider if they notice a blister, cut, sore, redness, swelling, drainage, change in skin color, or other foot concern that is not improving.
