If you’re living with diabetes, taking care of your feet is more than just a matter of comfort - it's a key part of your overall wellness. Diabetes can affect the way your body heals, your circulation, and even how much feeling you have in your feet. That’s why it’s so important to keep your feet healthy, clean, and protected.
Diabetes can cause changes in both your circulatory and nervous systems. Many people experience dry skin, cold feet, or numbness and tingling. This is due to reduced blood flow and something called diabetic neuropathy, which can make your feet more sensitive - or, in some cases, less sensitive - to pain and temperature.
Because of this, even small foot issues like dry skin or pressure spots can turn into bigger problems if left untreated. But with the right care, most of these concerns can be managed and prevented. Here are a few common things people with diabetes might notice in their feet:
- Dry, flaky, or parchment-like skin
- Discoloration or changes in skin tone
- Build-up of dry skin around the toenails
- Extra thickened skin (calluses) on pressure points
- Minor irritations, redness, or small infections
If you see anything out of the ordinary, especially cuts, sores, or anything that doesn’t heal, it's important to speak to a healthcare professional.
