I once came across a diabetic patient in the ward who had an overall peeling of the skin on both feet while doing a foot bath. It turned out to be a neurological complication of diabetes that prevented him from feeling cold, heat and pain, so he soaked in hot water for too long, which eventually led to the tragedy. This patient was hospitalized in our hospital at a great cost to save both feet in the end. However, many diabetic patients are not so fortunate. After their feet break down and erode due to vascular and neurological complications, they are not diagnosed and treated in time, and their condition progresses, eventually leading to amputation and even life-threatening. Although diabetic foot disease is difficult to treat, it is still preventable. Therefore, diabetic patients should do the following: 1, insist on daily examination of the feet: In ordinary life, if symptoms such as blisters, cuts, redness, hardening, rupture, local heat, local coldness, etc. appear on the lower limbs, you should immediately seek the help of a professional diabetic foot doctor or nurse. 2, insist on washing your feet with warm water every day Before washing your feet, test the temperature of the water with your hands or check the water temperature with a thermometer, and wash your feet at a temperature of about 37 degrees Celsius (not more than 40 degrees Celsius). Wash your feet for no more than 15 minutes, and massage appropriately to promote blood circulation in the feet. After washing the feet with a soft towel to gently dry the water, especially between the toe seams, to keep dry. For dry skin, you should use lubricant or skin care ointment, but not between the toes. 3, insist on trimming toenails to check and trim toenails, to “a” trimming can be. For elderly patients and patients with poor eyesight, you should ask someone else to trim them carefully. 4.Choose appropriate shoes and socks It is better for diabetic patients not to go barefoot to prevent being stabbed by foreign objects on the ground. Try to choose light-colored socks made of cotton and not too tight at the edges. Choose shoes with flat soles, round toes, non-slip and breathable. Avoid small shoes, hard-soled shoes and high-heeled shoes. The best time to buy shoes is in the afternoon or evening. 5, regular visits, early consultation Diabetic patients should go to the hospital as soon as possible if they have numbness and abnormal sensation in both feet. If you have corns, calluses or youts on your feet, do not treat them yourself or use chemicals such as corns ointment, but go to the hospital to see a doctor or ostomy wound therapist for treatment.
