Foot Care for Diabetics AudioHealth Library Topic 1507 Foot Care for Diabetics Foot care is very important for diabetics since foot problems account for one-fifth of all diabetic hospitalizations. If you are a diabetic, you will need to take special care of your feet to avoid foot problems associated with diabetes.
Improper care can result in an infection.
If an infection becomes serious, it may result in an amputation. Never go barefoot. Use a garter belt or wear panty hose. And wear boots only for short periods of time. Wash them daily.
