If yourself or a loved one is living with diabetes, this one’s important 💙
Diabetes can cause a condition called neuropathy, where the nerves in your feet become damaged over time, reducing sensation. This means that blisters, corns or ulcers can develop without you even feeling them, and when things go unnoticed, small problems can quickly become bigger ones.
Here’s what to keep an eye on:
• Blisters or sores that appear without an obvious cause
• Corns or hard skin that are growing or changing
• Any cuts or wounds that are slow to heal
• Redness, swelling or changes in skin temperature
The good news? Catching these things early makes a huge difference. A regular foot check means nothing gets missed and you can stay one step ahead (pardon the pun!) 😅
If you or someone you care for is living with diabetes, please don’t put off getting your feet checked. I’m here to help, and it really could make all the difference 🦶
