A Shocking Reality
John never thought much about his feet—until the day he noticed a small blister that refused to heal.
Days turned into weeks, and what started as a minor irritation became a severe infection. His doctor gave him the news no one wants to hear: “John, we may need to consider amputation.”
For millions of people with diabetes, this isn’t just a horror story—it’s a real risk.
🚨 Did you know? Diabetes is the leading cause of non-traumatic foot amputations in the U.S.
Why Are Your Feet at Risk?
Diabetes damages nerves and blood vessels, meaning:
✔ You might not feel injuries – A tiny cut can go unnoticed.
✔ Your body heals slower – High blood sugar makes infections worse.
✔ Poor circulation starves your feet – Less blood flow = higher risks of ulcers and amputations.
The Simple Habit That Can Save Your Feet
If John had just checked his feet daily, he could have caught that blister early. Now, it’s YOUR turn to take action.
👉 Follow this daily foot care routine:
✅ Inspect your feet every night for cuts, redness, or swelling.
✅ Wash & Moisturize—but never between the toes (bacteria love moisture).
✅ Wear Proper Shoes—diabetic shoes prevent pressure points that lead to ulcers.
✅ Trim Carefully—cut nails straight across to avoid ingrown toenails.
✅ See a Specialist—schedule regular checkups with a podiatrist.
The Game-Changer: Diabetic Shoes
Medicare covers 1 pair of diabetic shoes + 3 pairs of inserts per year for qualified patients. These aren’t just “comfort” shoes—they are medically designed to protect your feet and prevent amputations.
