Diabetes and Your Feet
We diabetics have to take specific care of our feet, or we can find them troubled in
two ways: came down blood circulation and nerve hurt.
Here’s what to seek for and a few prevention ideas.
Symptom:
If your feet are systematically cold, your legs are sore when you walk, or your feet damage
in bed at night, you may be affected by poor blood circulation. This, in turn, can
slow down the process of healing when you have cuts or other hurt to your feet.
Prevention:
Staying physically active is one alternative to help improve your circulation. You also require
to control your blood fat and sugar levels, and also your blood stress. And of
course, do not smoke.
Symptom:
If your feet are numb, you have a burning sensation on the soles of your feet or pins
and needles in your feet, you have signs of doable nerve hurt.
Foot nerves are the longest in our bodies and are therefore susceptible to hurt
by diabetes. If these nerves are hurted, the feelings are decreased, so we could
have the cuts or blisters that can conduct to ulcers, and we wouldn’t even know about
it.
Prevention:
Check your feet usually to make sure there are no signs of injury. If you originate
corns or calluses, have them treated automatically by a podiatrist. Wash and dry
carefully between your toes, and keep your nails trimmed and smooth.
Everyone likes to have their feet pampered, but for us diabetics it not only feels
good, it also obstructs serious health issues in the future. So book that foot
massage now!
