Diabetes: Foot Concerns

Welcome. In this section, you will find articles written specifically for people with diabetes whose feet are at risk for various foot conditions, as well as amputation. You will learn how diabetes puts your feet—and overall health and wellbeing—at risk and what you can do to prevent and manage foot-related issues, maintain your ability to function and enjoy the best possible quality of life.

Key to preventive foot health for people with diabetes is daily foot care. If a family member or friend is helping you, refer him/her to Caring for Feet of People with Diabetes in our Caregiver section.
