Looking to the future with a diabetic foot ulcer
Top tips
Take care
Take care of your feet, or have somebody else take care of them – wash them daily, dry carefully between the toes, and wear well fitting shoes and socks.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle
Eat healthily and stay active, both help to manage your diabetes, which helps to reduce your risk of developing recurring diabetic foot ulcers.
Check, check, check
Check your feet regularly or have them checked. Report any changes straight to your healthcare professional.
Seek education
You should feel in control of your health – seek education and support from healthcare professionals, companies that continue to innovate wound care dressings, or others with diabetic foot ulcers.
