Proper foot care is an important part of diabetes management. In fact, diabetics are at an extremely increased risk of serious foot disorders.
Foot problems are the most common diabetes complication leading to hospitalizations. Ulcers or sores on the feet can be caused by improper shoe gear that can result in infection and possible amputations.
Shoes MUST be worn all of the time. Anytime there is weight on the feet, indoors or out, a proper fitted shoe should be worn. |
