Why is Foot Care Important for People with Diabetes?

Diabetes can affect the feet in several ways.

Over time, high blood sugar levels may damage the nerves and reduce blood circulation, making it difficult to notice injuries or allowing wounds to heal slowly.

This may increase the risk of:

Foot ulcers
Corns and calluses
Blisters
Skin infections
Loss of sensation
Foot deformities
Difficulty walking
Serious foot complications

Regular foot examinations and proper footwear can help identify problems early and reduce the risk of complications.

Common Signs of Diabetic Foot Problems

You should seek professional advice if you experience:

Numbness or tingling in the feet
Burning sensation
Reduced sensation or loss of feeling
Persistent foot pain
Dry or cracked skin
Corns or calluses
Swelling in the feet or ankles
Slow-healing wounds
Changes in foot shape
Recurrent infections

Even if you do not have symptoms, regular diabetic foot screening is highly recommended.

Who Should Undergo Diabetic Foot Screening?

Diabetic foot assessments are recommended for:

Individuals with Type 1 Diabetes
Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes
Senior citizens with diabetes
People with reduced sensation in their feet
Individuals with a history of foot ulcers
Patients experiencing numbness or a burning sensation
People with foot deformities or walking difficulties

Regular screening helps detect problems before they become serious.

If you notice a cut, blister or wound that is not healing properly, seek medical attention as early as possible.
