\n<\/span><\/strong>Check your feet and toes every day for cuts, bruises or sores.
\n<\/span>Check for changes to the toenails (i.e. thickening and discolouration).<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/strong>Walking can keep weight down and improve circulation.
\n<\/span>Helps to maintain ideal blood sugar levels.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/strong>Foot size and shape may change over time.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/strong>Do not go without shoes, even in your own home.
\n<\/span>Inspect shoes prior to putting them on for foreign objects, animal hair, pebbles etc.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/strong>Avoid socks with seams that may rub and cause blisters or other skin injuries.
\n<\/span>White socks are best.<\/span><\/p>\n
