 Simple Steps Today — Healthier Feet Tomorrow-Dr Uday Ravi


Are you living with diabetes? Are you taking proper care of your feet every day? Diabetic foot ulcers can sometimes begin with a small cut, blister, pressure area, or unnoticed injury. Regular foot care can help you notice changes early.

What Is a Diabetic Foot Ulcer?
A diabetic foot ulcer is an open wound that can develop on the foot of a person with diabetes. Reduced sensation, pressure, circulation problems, and other factors can contribute to foot wounds.

Are you checking your feet regularly? A simple daily check is an important part of diabetic foot care.

6 Simple Steps to Help Protect Your Feet

✅ 1. Check Your Feet Every Day
Look for cuts, blisters, redness, swelling, calluses, or changes in skin colour.

✅ 2. Keep Your Feet Clean and Dry
Wash your feet gently and dry them carefully, especially between the toes.

✅ 3. Wear Comfortable Footwear
Choose properly fitting footwear that helps reduce unnecessary pressure and friction.

✅ 4. Avoid Walking Barefoot
Going barefoot can increase the chance of unnoticed cuts, burns, or other injuries.

✅ 5. Take Care of Your Toenails
Trim nails carefully and avoid cutting the surrounding skin. If you have difficulty caring for your feet, seek professional advice.

✅ 6. Don't Ignore a Non-Healing Wound
Are you noticing a wound that is not healing? Or are you seeing increasing redness, swelling, discharge, or other unusual changes? Seek professional medical attention promptly.

Are You Protecting Your Feet Every Day?
Daily foot care does not replace professional assessment, but it can help you notice potential problems earlier. If you have diabetes, make foot care part of your regular routine.

Care Early. Prevent Ulcers. Protect Every Step.
