Answer:
Poorly controlled blood glucose can cause nerve damage, circulation problems and infections that, in turn, cause serious foot problems for people with diabetes. There is a lot you can do to prevent the onset of these complications. Wash your feet daily and pat them dry, trim your toenails carefully, treat corns and calluses gently, and wear properly fitting shoes. Ask your health care provider to check your feet at least four times a year, and ask if you might benefit from wearing shoes made especially for people with diabetes.
