Diabetes Tip: Happy Feet

Keep your feet healthy by following these tips:

  • Don’t walk barefoot
  • Don’t wear high heels, sandals or pointed-toe shoes as they put excess pressure on your feet
  • Don’t wear mended or seamed socks as they can cause blisters or skin injuries
  • Don’t wear nylon stockings if you’re being treated for an infection
