Because the peripheral blood circulation is impaired when combined with peripheral vascular disease, the heat gathered in the foot is not easy to evacuate. Patients with peripheral neuropathy are insensitive to temperature and other sensations, and it is difficult to accurately test the water temperature, and their self-protection regulation is poor, so they are easily scalded with blisters. Diabetic patients can be seen clinically when the water temperature above 37 ° C blisters, so diabetic patients soak their feet water temperature should be lower than the norm, to 37 ° C is appropriate. The patient’s family should test the water temperature for the patient before soaking his feet; if there is no help from others, you can apply a water thermometer to measure the temperature to avoid scalding.
