1) Check your feet day by day Sores, cuts and
grazes could go unnoticed and you could create
issues resulting in amputations . 2) Dont go
around barefoot, even inside . Its not difficult
to tread on something or stub your toes and cut
yourself. Protect your feet with socks and shoes.
3) Use caution if that you have corns or
calluses. Talk to your specialist or podiatrist
the most ideal approach to look after them.
4) Wash your feet day by day in warm, NOT HOT
water. Furthermore dont soak your feet
(regardless of the possibility that youve been
standing all day) as a result of it could dry
your skin and type cracks or sores.

5) Take additional consideration to dry your feet
fully, particularly between your toes. These are
regular moisture traps leaving them damp or wet
could produce all kinds of issues. 6) Exercise
your legs and feet regularly. Actually once
sitting you'll be able to rotate your ankles
wiggle your toes or move your legs up and down.
These all keep your blood circulation flowing and
helps to reduce the danger of foot issues. 7)
Get your feet professionally checked, a minimum
of once a year, for sensitivity and indications
of any issues. You can typically prepare this
when you have your yearly examination for your
AC1 levels (blood glucose levels over a 3-month
period), blood pressure and cholesterol.
