With the arrival of spring, the temperature gradually warms up, and some people’s feet gradually sweat more and more. In addition, the air is humid in spring, and the indoor humidity gradually returns, which is a high season for diabetic foot, so diabetic patients must protect their feet in spring. For diabetic patients, to have a pleasant spring, they should pay special attention to foot care. Here are some precautions to protect your feet: 1. Control your blood sugar Just after the Spring Festival, many diabetic patients have unstable blood sugar due to irregularities in rest and diet during the Spring Festival. At this time, you should follow up with the hospital as soon as possible and take timely measures to stabilize blood sugar. Control your blood sugar so that the barrier effect of the skin can be improved. 2. Don’t scratch your feet if you have tinea pedis In the spring, many people suffer from tinea pedis because their feet sweat easily but they don’t pay attention to it. Since most diabetic patients have vascular and neurological lesions, a small break in the skin of the foot or ringworm can develop into a chronic ulcer that lasts for a long time, or even develop into gangrene leading to amputation. Therefore, it is important not to scratch the affected area with your hands when suffering from ringworm and to receive professional treatment in a timely manner. 3. Keep your feet clean and fresh Diabetic patients can wash their feet daily with warm water and non-irritating soap. But before washing feet must ensure that the water temperature is appropriate, to prevent the water temperature is too high burn feet. Dry them with a soft towel after washing, especially between the toes. Patients who are prone to foot sweating can use some non-irritating dry powder as appropriate. 4, reasonable trimming toenails, choose the right shoes and socks Diabetic patients in the trimming of toenails, can not be cut too short, but also pay attention to cut when not to cut the surrounding skin. The beginning of spring, many people have taken off the heavy cotton shoes, replaced with spring shoes. Diabetic patients should be aware that whether they buy new shoes or old shoes, they should brace their shoes before wearing them to avoid wearing them uncomfortably, and they should also check whether there are foreign objects in their shoes to avoid abrasion of their feet. Light-colored cotton socks are a good choice for diabetics. Cotton socks absorb sweat better, and light colors can detect foot problems in time. In daily life, diabetic patients can also lift their legs more often and rub their calves to promote blood circulation in the lower limbs. If you find symptoms such as blisters and infections on the feet, you must seek medical attention in time and never treat them at home by yourself.
