Control your diabetes. A good blood sugar control is the primary and most important factor in preventing any diabetic foot complication. Attend your annual diabetic foot screening with your diabetes nurse or podiatrist. You may need more than one foot screening in a year if you have a higher risk of developing a diabetic foot complication. Check and inspect your feet daily. You may use a mirror to help you look for any cuts, open wounds, or unusual lesions. Seek medical attention immediately if you noticed any unusual appearance or any wounds that are healing within 1 to 2 weeks. Always wear supportive shoes that provide sufficient cushioning and covers your feet. It is also important to wear slippers at home, especially one that covers the toes to protect yourself from any cuts or injuries.  Clean and cover any open wounds with sterile dressings. This will prevent any severe foot infections from developing.
