Diabetic Foot and Wound Care Part 3

Amputations:  This is by far the worst part of my job!!  As I frequently tell patients: "Keeping your feet and toes, is job security for me."
No one wants to prevent an amputations more then your Podiatrist!
The things that you can do to help out:
1. Check inside your shoes before putting them on!
2. Wear properly fitted shoes at all times, many people with Diabetes and Neuropathy can step on things and not know it.
3. Check your feet everyday!  You can use a mirror on the floor, or a mechanics mirror, or ask a loved one to look for you!
4. If you notice any open areas or wounds, come in and see your Podiatrist or Primary Care Physician immediately.
