TAKE CARE OF YOUR FEET
Check your feet every day for sores, red marks, hot spots, blisters, or any unusual condition that was not there the day before. If you cannot pull your feet up to look at them, use a mirror or have someone else hold it up for you. If you are diabetic, you may not feel a blister or sore until it is too late.
Ulcers are the most harmful problems to your feet. They are the cause of approximately 80,000 amputations of the diabetic feet every year. It is very important to catch an ulcer before it becomes a wound.
If you have an infrared thermometer you can measure the temperature of your feet, by measuring the heat on your feet, you can catch the 4 degree temperature difference before you get an ulcer and know to stay off your feet for a couple of days. No medication or surgery needed.
