How should diabetic foot care?

Wash your feet with warm water every night before going to bed, and check the skin between your feet and toes to see if there are abrasions and damages. 3. Shoes and socks should be soft and suitable, not too tight and hard, and not suitable for long-distance walking, so as to avoid foot wear.

Those with diabetes history of more than 5 years should regularly go to the hospital for lower limb and foot examination, early screening, early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of lower limb complications.

Diabetic patients should protect their feet. Diabetic patients should actively treat calluses and corns on their feet. They should keep their shoes and socks clean, loose, soft, and well ventilated.
