Ulcers and Diabetic Wound Care

Posted by Patria Henriques on Saturday, July 20, 2024

Preventing an ulcer from developing is its best treatment:

Visit your podiatrist regularly for comprehensive foot exams.

Check your feet every day, especially the soles (ask for someone’s help or use a mirror) and between the toes. Look for any changes in the skin such as a cut, bruise, blister, crack, sore or redness.

Keep blood sugar levels under control.

Wear appropriate shoes that are supportive, roomy and comfortable.

Reduce risk factors such as smoking, drinking alcohol and high cholesterol.
