Diabetic Foot Ulcer Prevention: A Patient’s Guide

Diabetic Foot Ulcer Prevention

Prevention is the most effective strategy. Daily foot care can reduce ulcer incidence by up to 50%.

Daily Foot Inspection

Check feet daily for cuts, blisters, redness, swelling, and color changes. Use a mirror for areas you cannot see directly. Never walk barefoot.

Proper Footwear

Wear properly fitted shoes with adequate toe box space. Seamless socks prevent friction. Custom orthotics may be recommended.
