So how to prevent the occurrence of diabetic foot disease, Director Sun Peng offers the following advice to diabetic patients. The first is to take a balanced approach and strictly control blood sugar. Diabetic patients’ blood sugar control mainly consists of three aspects: exercise, diet and medication, often some of our patients only focus on taking medication and ignore other control pathways. There are also some patients who go to the hospital once and then keep taking medication according to the original plan and do not go to the hospital regularly to monitor blood glucose control, all of which can make it difficult to control blood glucose. Long-term poor blood sugar control will slowly lead to the following symptoms: dry and sweatless skin of the affected limb, keratinization becoming brittle, tingling at the extremity, and delayed or absent sensation. Due to malnutrition of the extremity, muscle atrophy, loss of tension balance among related muscles, deformation of interphalangeal joints, formation of deformities such as bowed feet and chicken claw toes, decrease in skin temperature of the foot, accompanied by pain when resting, etc. One of the more typical symptoms is intermittent claudication, which is characterized by weakness, strain and numbness of the lower limbs after walking a certain distance and the need to stop and rest for a while before walking again. If pain occurs at night, then the ischemic symptoms of the lower limbs are already very serious. Under normal circumstances, there is an artery on the dorsum of the foot, which is superficial and easy to feel the beating, if you can’t feel the beating, you should go to the hospital vascular surgery for treatment in time. Secondly, prevention of diabetic foot. The trigger for the occurrence of ulceration of the diabetic foot is often a very small injury to the foot. A very small wound can often lead to the loss of a leg. A significant proportion of diabetic foot patients who have had their leg amputated are the result of inattention to foot breakdown, so foot protection is particularly important for diabetics. Therefore, it is important to provide health education to patients with diabetic foot disease, and the education should include the following: (1) Daily foot examination, including between the toes. If the patient himself is unable to perform such an examination, he should ask someone to help him. (2) Wash the feet regularly and dry them carefully, especially between the toes. (3) The temperature of the foot washing water should be below 37°C. Scalding the feet is strictly forbidden. You should try the water temperature with your hands before you put your feet into the basin. (4) Avoid walking barefoot indoors and outdoors or wearing shoes barefoot. (5) Chemicals or creams should not be used to remove keratinized tissue or calluses. (6) Check the inside of your shoes daily to prevent foreign bodies. (7) If vision is poor, patients should not handle their own feet, such as trimming toenails. (8) For dry skin, lubricants or skin care ointments should be used, but not between the toes. (9) Change socks daily and do not wear socks with tears. (10) Cut toenails flat and straight. (11) Patients should not use a knife to trim keratotic tissue or calluses, but should have them handled by a professional. (12) Patients should have their feet checked by medical personnel regularly. (13) Patients should go to the vascular surgery department as soon as blistering, cracking, cutting, scratching or pain occurs.
