Diabetic Foot Care — Protect Your Feet This Diabetes Week

At Caring Feet Domiciliary Foot Care in Walsall, we are passionate about helping people living with diabetes take care of their feet and avoid serious complications. Your feet deserve the very best care — and we are here to help.

Why Diabetic Foot Care Matters

If you have diabetes, it’s vital to attend your annual diabetes health check with your Diabetes Nurse or Care Team. Diabetes can lead to a number of complications, particularly when it is not well managed, and your feet are especially vulnerable.

One of the biggest risks is that diabetes can affect blood circulation and nerve function in your feet. This makes it harder to notice small injuries or changes — and wounds may take longer to heal, increasing the risk of infection.

In severe cases, untreated problems can lead to serious outcomes such as foot ulcers or even amputation of toes, feet, or legs.

Simple Steps to Protect Your Feet

Attend your annual diabetes check-up — never miss it.
Contact your Diabetes Nurse or Care Team if you notice anything worrying between appointments.
Check your feet daily at home. Look for:

  • Blisters
  • Sore spots
  • Discolouration
  • Swelling
  • Pain
  • Any wounds or new changes

Early action makes a huge difference — always seek professional advice if you spot anything unusual.
