Foot CareProper foot care is an essential component of living well with diabetes. Along with quitting smoking, blood pressure management and blood sugar control foot-care can help prevent foot amputation in people with diabetes. People with diabetes should inspect their own feet daily for wounds and have any wounds treated promptly. Moisturizing the feet daily after bathing will help prevent cracks from developing. People with diabetes should have foot examinations by a foot care professional at least annually. Janzen’s Pharmacy is hosting a foot care Clinic Day on June 24; call Carla at Janzen’s to enroll or for more information. |
