Diabetic foot, due to persistent hyperglycemia or repeated blood sugar fluctuations, causes vascular and neuropathy, which causes pain and loss of skin sensation when walking; if a wound or ulcer is produced, infection and gangrene can easily occur and is difficult to cure. This is one of the most common complications for diabetics, and is also an important cause of death and disability in diabetes. Diabetic patients can check themselves to see if the following conditions exist: cold and swollen lower limbs, accompanied by numbness, pain or dullness of sensation, or even disappearance; weakening or disappearance of vascular pulsation in the back of the foot; the color gradually turns purple when the foot drops; no obvious discomfort when not walking, but once you walk, you will experience soreness and discomfort and have to stop and rest; changes in bones as well as muscles, such as muscle atrophy The first and foremost thing that happens after the onset of diabetic foot is that the foot will become deformed. After the occurrence of diabetic foot, the most important task is still to control the blood sugar level. And these six details of life, for diabetic foot patients is also extremely critical: 1, do not walk barefoot because diabetes can lead to nerve damage, the patient’s foot will be very insensitive, so it is likely to walk when you can not notice small stones or other things and injury, which may lead to serious infection. 2, keep your feet clean Wash your feet with water and soap at the right temperature every day, which can play a role in preventing infection. However, take care not to test the water temperature with your feet, because diabetics tend to feel impaired, so this is the time to ask family members to work on your behalf, or use a thermometer. In addition, do not rub your feet vigorously with a towel, but dry them carefully. Especially between the toes, to try to keep dry, to avoid breeding pathogenic bacteria. 3, keep the foot skin soft and moist Use lotion or other skin care products to prevent dry and cracked foot skin, which can reduce the risk of infection. Be careful not to leave lotion between your toes. 4, regular toenail trimming Regular nail trimming can help prevent some minor foot injuries, but avoid cutting to the corners of the toes or other cuts, badly trimmed areas, you can use a nail file or emery. If you find toenail problems, to see a doctor in time, must be timely to prevent infection. 5, keep your feet warm Wear loose socks to bed; do not let your feet get wet in the rain or snow; wear warm socks and shoes in winter; try not to use hot water bags, kettles or electric blankets for warmth, and do not put your feet in front of electric heaters to avoid burns caused by dulled senses. 6, quit smoking Smoking can impair blood vessel function and reduce the body’s ability to deliver oxygen. For diabetics, smoking can significantly increase the risk of amputation, and in the long run, even including the hands will experience the same problems as the feet.
