Diabetic Foot Care
Diabetic foot care helps to protect your feet, and keep you from developing an infection that is difficult to heal. If you have recently become diabetic, understand that it is harder to heal from a cut, blisters, or calluses on your feet. At All Valley Podiatric Group, Dr. Anoosh Moadab provides diabetic foot care for residents throughout Fresno, CA, to keep their feet healthy. When you experience numbness or tingling in your feet, you might miss a cut or another skin injury. A podiatrist will regularly check your feet and provide the care you need to keep your feet in good shape.
Diabetic Foot Care in Fresno, CA
Diabetic foot care in Fresno, CA, involves learning ways to keep your feet healthy in between appointments with a podiatrist. If you are not able to take care of your own nails, routine nail care is essential for the health of your feet. Clean your feet regularly with soap and warm water, then dry your feet with careful attention paid to between your toes. Always wear shoes that fit you well, and don't go barefoot, even in the house. When you are sitting down, put your feet up to improve your circulation. People who have diabetes have an increased risk of infection due to higher blood sugar levels and poor circulation in the feet.
What to Expect at the Doctor for Diabetic Foot Care
A doctor will look over your feet, and check in between your toes for cracks, cuts or other abrasions. You will be asked if you have symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or pain in your feet. If you can't reach your nails, the podiatrist can take care of your toenails for you. You will have the opportunity to ask questions about the health of your feet, and what you can do to prevent problems in the future. You will be scheduled about every six weeks for an appointment with a podiatrist when you are at risk of developing problems related to diabetes.
Diabetic Foot Care and Your Shoes
Your shoes should be comfortable, but not be so large that your feet move around inside your shoes when you walk. Pay attention to the arch support in your shoes, and make sure your toes aren't squished when you have your shoes on.
