Why Diabetic Foot Care is Essential

Diabetes often affects the eyes, kidneys, and feet due to reduced blood flow in small vessels. For diabetics, proper foot care is crucial to avoid serious complications like infections, ulcers, or amputations. Key considerations for diabetic foot health include:

Regular Monitoring: Diabetics should check their feet twice daily for any signs of cuts, redness, or abnormalities. Early detection of problems can prevent serious complications.
Avoiding Injury: Even minor injuries like a stubbed toe or a small cut can become serious if left untreated.
