Diabetic Foot Care at Home
Diabetes can cause nerve damage and poor circulation in the feet, so small cuts, blisters and thick nails turn into serious problems quickly. Regular exams and safe nail and skin care at home help prevent ulcers, infections and amputations.
Signs it's time for a visit
- Numbness, tingling or burning in the feet
- Cuts or blisters that heal slowly
- Changes in skin color or temperature
- Thick nails or calluses that aren't safe to trim at home
What happens during the home visit
- A complete diabetic foot exam, including feeling, circulation and skin
- Safe trimming of nails and reduction of calluses
- Footwear and diabetic shoe guidance
- Teaching patients and caregivers what to check every day
