For people with diabetes, proper foot care is an important part of their daily routine. Practicing good habits can help you avoid the foot problems that plague many diabetic patients. The first step in preventing these problems is to keep you blood sugar levels within your target range. In addition, it is important to examine your feet daily for sores, cuts, bruises, or other injuries. If you have any foot problems and you are diabetic, contact your doctor immediately.
