Foot Science Diabetes Management
Diabetes is much more than insulin deficiency – it affects your body from head to toe. Insulin is critical for diabetes management, but no drug can replace a healthy, active lifestyle. Maintaining a balanced diet and getting regular, gentle exercise can help slow the progress of the disease and prevent life-threatening complications. Healthy feet are critical for getting moving and staying fit.
Serious foot problems, including ulcers, are a common complication of Diabetes and can lead to amputation. Nerve damage, poor circulation and decreased resistance to infection mean that diabetic patients may not feel minor injuries, and those injuries take longer to heal. Foot problems are best prevented through stringent monitoring of the skin and using custom-moulded shock absorbing FormthoticsTM in your shoes for precision fit.
You can further lower the risks by wearing padded, seamless Paladin socks, and using Foot Science Merino Foot Crème moisturiser daily.
