Diabetic foot: Preventing the formation of wounds

Before acute and chronic wounds need to be treated, diabetics can do a lot to prevent their formation. You can give your patients these recommendations:

• Wash their feet in a lukewarm foot bath with mild skin care products and then dry them well. Do not skip the spaces between the toes with you.
• Use a nail file to file the toenails straight, not round. Scissors, clippers or nippers are not suitable for diabetics due to the risk of injury.
• Remove callus gently. Prefer to use pumice stones instead of rasps.
• Apply cream to dry feet on a regular basis. Products with urea (5-10 per cent urea) are suitable instead.
• Change socks daily and favour materials with a high cotton content.
• Enter new shoes and check for possible pressure points.
• Consult a professional podiatrist and have your foot health checked regularly thanks to your diabetologist.
