Diabetic? Do your shoes fit properly?

Diabetics need to check their feet daily. Keep an eye out for redness or blisters. Diabetics tend to heal slower than others and also if the wound does not heal it can lead to further complications.

I used to work as a diabetic shoe fitter and so many people would come in with various problems. One thing that diabetics often do is wear shoes that improperly fit. They are too tight, rub, cause skin breakdown.

I wish more people who had diabetes would realize the importance of good foot care. While in the healthcare business I would see so many that wore shoes that were too tight or too loose, and caused problems.
