Protecting Your Feet with Diabetes
Diabetes can cause serious foot complications through nerve damage (neuropathy) and poor circulation. Up to 25% of people with diabetes will develop foot problems, but most complications are preventable with proper daily care and regular monitoring.
Our tracker helps you assess your current risk level, provides personalized care recommendations, and creates a monitoring routine to catch problems early when they're most treatable.

Diabetic Foot Risk Assessment
📚 Diabetic Foot Care Essentials
🧼 Daily Foot Care Routine
Inspection
Check feet daily for cuts, blisters, redness, swelling, or nail problems. Use a mirror for hard-to-see areas.
Washing
Wash with lukewarm water and mild soap. Test water temperature with elbow, not feet.
Drying
Dry thoroughly, especially between toes. Pat gently, don't rub.
Moisturizing
Apply moisturizer to prevent dry skin, but not between toes.
⚠️ What to Avoid
Never walk barefoot
Even indoors, always wear shoes or slippers to protect from injury.
Don't use heating pads
Reduced sensation can lead to burns. Use warm socks instead.
Avoid tight socks/shoes
These can reduce circulation and cause pressure sores.
Don't ignore minor cuts
Small problems can become serious quickly with diabetes.
