Our recommendation for people with diabetes
- Learn to recognize and identify any subtle signs or symptoms in the foot and the leg and get podiatric intervention in a timely manner.
- Visit a podiatrist at least twice a year for regular preventive care. Our nations’ podiatrists are specialists and true guardians for prevention of diabetes-related foot complications.
- Monitor your blood sugar regularly and take your medications as directed by your health care provider.
