Here are a few tips for diabetics regarding your foot care:
-Inspect your feet daily for blisters, bleeding, and lesions between your toes
-Use a mirror to see the bottom of your foot and heel
-Avoid "bathroom surgery" on corns, calluses, or ingrown toenails
-Wash your feet daily with warm, soapy water and dry them well, especially between the toes
-Have regular examinations by your podiatric surgeon and contact him or her immediately if your foot becomes swollen, is painful, or if redness occurs.
-Do not smoke
