"RECOMMENDATIONS: Diet and exercise, medications, careful blood sugar control, and the following common sense steps can help you to live a longer, healthier life with diabetes. • Bathe your feet daily. Wash carefully, with warm water and soap. Make sure you dry completely between the toes. • Trim your toenails with a nail file and file straight across. • If the skin on your feet is dry, a moisturizing cream will help. • Inspect your feet daily. Be on the lookout for cuts, red spots, warm or hot spots, discolorations or any other abnormalities. • Never go barefoot. • Finally, make sure your shoes fit right. Too tight shoes can cause blisters and calluses, too loose can also cause ulcers as they rub against the foot. Make sure socks aren’t rubbing either."
