If you don't pay attention to your legs, you run the risk of pain or infection, and in the worst case, it can lead to amputation. Like my father-in-law. The following seven-foot techniques can be combined to reduce the risk of infection or amputation.
1) Check your feet every day-especially if you have low sensitivity or numbness in your legs. Pain, cuts, and abrasions can cause problems leading to liver and amputation.
2) Do not walk barefoot even indoors. It is easy to step on your feet or stab them with your toes. Protecting your legs in socks/stockings
Shoes/slippers.
3) Please be careful if you have corn and calluses. Talk to your doctor or podiatrist for the best treatment.
4) Wash your feet in warm water every day. Also, do not get your feet wet (even if you are standing all day). The skin is dry and can cause cracks or pain.
5) Pay particular attention to completely dry your legs, especially between your toes. These are nature's home dehumidifiers-moisture or humidity that can cause a variety of problems.
6) Regularly move your legs and feet. You can rotate your ankles while sitting. Twist your toes and move your legs up and down. This helps improve your blood circulation and minimize your risk of leg disease.
7) Examination of the leg by a specialist at least once a year for signs of foot sensitivity problems. This can usually be adjusted when checking your AC1 levels (blood glucose level within 3 months), blood pressure, and cholesterol every year.
Take care of your legs often. Let's help from relatives or experts. If you can't bend when you are trimming your nails and checking for pain, ask your doctor, diabetes nurse, or podiatrist. Taking these simple steps, you can reduce the risk of painful problems.
