DIABETICS:
MINDYOUR
FEET
"Diabetic
foot"
results from
poor blood supply and sensa-
tion
loss
of
the
feet
of
diabetics.
Despite
the pathology can
oc-
cur
anywhere,
the
foot
is
still
the
commonest.
For
diabetics with
poorly control, their feet
gets
insufficient blood supply
-
swollen, cold
or
discolored;
there
is
also a significant
sen-
sation
loss due
to
"diabetic
neuropathy": lack of adequate
signals
to
the
patient
for
protection, e.9., against sharp
objects
or
excessive
heat,
etc.
-
even an
ulcer on the
foot may
be left unnoticed
or
thought
to
be
"unimportant"
due
to
the
lack
of pain. Prevention
or
the earli-
est detection is required.
Con-
trol the
blood
sugar
level well;
refrain from smoking; choose
airy socks
and
soft shoes
with
best
fit, with
rounded
outline
and
flat
heel. Change
socks
daily;
new
shoes should
be
worn
initially
at
a maximum du-
ration
of
half
and hour
per
day
till
they
fit
your
feet.
Examine
regularly and
carefully
the
feet
for any abrasions. Never walk
bare footed; ensure
that
no
sand grains
are
inside
the
shoes. Wash feet with lukewarm
water checked with thermom-
eter
or
family
members.
Consult
your doctor
if
abrasion(s) do not
heal
in
2-3 days.
