Podiatrist in North Texas – Diabetic Foot Care
DIABETIC FOOT CARE TIPS: The most common reason diabetics are hospitalized in the United States is foot infections. I know thats hard to believe, but true. Diabetes can be dangerous and devastating to your feet. The most common causes of these foot infections are improperly cut toenails and poorly fitting shoes. Yes, something as simple as a visit to the podiatrist to have your toenails cut and shoes custom fitted can avoid many amputations. Add poor circulation and lack of feeling known as peripheral neuropathy, and you have the prescription for disaster for diabetic feet. What is a diabetic to do to protect their feet from a sore that can lead to infection and amputation? 1. Inspect your feet daily. If you cant see your feet, have someone else look at them every day for redness, cuts, swelling, blisters, bruising, or nail problems. 2. Wash your feet daily. Sounds simple, but many people do not bathe their feet daily. Make sure to clean in between your toes and dry them thoroughly. 3. Moisturize your feet daily. Again, a simple habit to get in to, yet most people fail to upkeep their skin every day. Diabetes can cause very dry, flaky skin, so extra moisture is needed. 4. Cut nails carefully, and straight across. If you can see and reach your toes, be careful to cut your toenails carefully, taking time not to nick yourself or cu them too short. When in doubt, visit Healthy Steps Pedicure salon for a therapeutic medically supervised pedicure or see the podiatrist at least ...

If you are a diabetic and have never seen a foot doctor, we are glad you found FAANT. Amputation rates in diabetics are on the rise but they are preventable. Here are ten tips to prevent an amputation. 1. Diabetes causes nerve damage that can cause you to lose feeling in your extremities. Make sure to check the bottoms of your feet twice a day since you may not be able to feel any developing problems. 2. If you find any cuts, scrapes or wounds on your feet, put some triple antibiotic ointment and a Band-Aid on it. Then be sure to come in so we can take a look. 3. Wash your feet with lukewarm water and use your hands to feel for any problems. 4. Moisturize your feet except for in between your toes. 5. Trim your nails straight and rounded on the edges. Be sure to leave a little white. 6. Never, ever trim your corns or calluses. 7. Wear dry, clean socks and change them often. 8. Avoid nylon socks, socks that are too tight and can constrict your blood flow and thick bulky socks that cause irritation. 9. If your feet are cold at night, wear socks. Do not use a heating pad or hot water bottle as this could burn you. 10. See your podiatrist on a regular basis. Call us to make an appointment!
