Foot Care Tips
If you have diabetes, follow theses guidelines to take care of your feet:
• Inspect your feet — top, bottom and between your toes — every day for sores and cuts. Use a mirror or ask someone to help you look. Another option is to go to a podiatrist foot care specialist) for care.
• Wash your feet daily with mild soap and warm, NOT HOT, water. Don't soak your feet, which can dry skin and cause it to crack.
• Dry your feet gently with a soft towel. Don't forget between your toes.
• If you have dry skin, use a lotion without perfume to moisturize.
• Pay attention — if a sore doesn't heal in two days, call your doctor.
• Wear good, well-fitting shoes and clean cotton or wool socks. Break in new shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods of time. If you can't find a pair of shoes that fit comfortably, ask your physician to refer you to a specialist who can provide corrective shoes or inserts.
• Never walk barefoot or wear sandals.
For a referral to a Podiatrist on our medical staff, call Saint Anthony's Physician Referral Service at 618/463-1234.
