If you have diabetes, foot care is crucial. Here are some common issues and tips:

- Cold Feet and Hands: This can be due to poor circulation.
- Swollen Foot: To reduce swelling, elevate your foot and avoid tight footwear.
- Painful Toes: Ensure you wear wide sneakers and avoid tight socks. Persistent pain should be checked by a specialist.

High-risk patients, such as those with abnormal sensation, circulation issues, or foot deformities, should see a foot care specialist every three months.
