5.Get Help: Talk to Your Doctor
Regular checkups are a big part of foot care when you’ve got diabetes. To prevent problems before they start, see your doctor for a full foot exam at least once a year. If your feet are numb or tingling or have slow-healing sores or other problems, call your doctor right away.
6.Shoe and Toenail Tips
Wear comfortable, well-fitting shoes; avoid heels and pointed, tight, or open-toed shoes. Avoid seamed socks or stockings, which can cause pressure points. Look for canvas, leather or suede shoes; avoid materials that make feet sweaty. Keep toenails trimmed; cut nails straight across, and don’t cut into the corners.
