The feet are one of the most affected parts of the human body; they support all our weight, transport us to our destination and are subject to constant temperature changes. A part of the body that is sometimes forgotten, that deserves a lot of care, and more when we talk about diabetic feet .
Diabetes has several effects on the feet, as sometimes they do not receive enough blood and oxygen, they change and different conditions are caused. A minimum of care and control over them is essential to achieve an optimal quality of life.
Advice for diabetic feet
- The diabetic foot usually does not have good blood circulation , which is why it should always be kept at the right temperature without major changes. You must protect them from cold and heat in the right way.
- Be careful with new shoes . We all like to wear new shoes, but these are usually hard at first and, although they are made of leather, they take a few days to adapt to the shape of our feet. So be careful of new scratches or wounds in the first few days. You must also control the use and not wear new shoes for too long. Of course, at Martin Natur we advise you to always opt for good leather footwear and, if possible, with a special width designed for diabetic feet.
- Wearing good shoes is just as important as wearing good socks . Choose models made of natural wool or organic cotton. These fabrics allow the foot to breathe and keep it dry to avoid chafing and temperature changes.
- In our daily life we sometimes neglect our health and acquire new habits that aggravate our pathology, such as: sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, overweight, smoking, etc. All of them can be transcendent to worsen our podiatric health.
- And last but not least, keep a good hygiene . Wash your feet daily, do the pedicure regularly and file corns gently so as not to cause wounds. And if necessary, visit the podiatrist whenever you need it.
It is vital to take care of the health of our feet and always choose a suitable shoe that helps us and protects us in every step. At Martin Natur we are specialists in this type of footwear and we advise you whenever you need it.
