We diabeties have to take special care of our feet, or we can find them troubled in two ways: reduced blood circulation and nerve damage.

Here’s what to look for and some prevention ideas.

1. Symptom: If your feet are constantly cold, your legs are sore when you walk, or your feet hurt in bed at night, you may be suffering from poor blood circulation. This, in turn, can slow down the process of healing when you have cuts or other damage to your feet.
2. Prevention: Staying physically active is one way to help improve your circulation. You also need to control your blood fat and sugar levels, as well as your blood pressure.

1. Symptom: If your feet are numb, you have a burning sensation on the soles of your feet or pins and needles in your feet, you have signs of possible nerve damage. Foot nerves are the longest in our bodies and are therefore susceptible to damage by diabetes.
2. Prevention: Check your feet regularly to be sure there are no signs of injury. If you develop corns or calluses, have them treated immediately by a podiatrist. Wash and dry carefully between your toes, and keep your nails trimmed and smooth.
