In cases where tissue damage becomes severe, amputation might become necessary. This is a last resort and highlights the importance of early intervention and prevention.
To avoid reaching this stage, adopt proactive habits:
- Keep your feet clean and dry
- Wear well-fitting shoes made of breathable materials
- Choose socks made from natural fibers
- Avoid walking barefoot or wearing tight footwear
- Don’t self-treat foot issues—see a specialist, especially for nail care
Above all, manage your diabetes carefully. Follow your treatment plan, take medications as prescribed, and have regular check-ups. Your diligence can significantly reduce the risk of developing diabetic foot and protect your overall well-being.
