What to do about foot problems

A guide for people with diabetes on recognising and responding to common foot problems.

Lists changes to watch for, including shifts in foot shape or nail colour, cracked or soggy skin, blisters, hard skin, signs of infection, and ulcers. Advises seeking prompt medical attention rather than waiting for an annual review, and discourages the use of over-the-counter corn treatments.

Also covers fungal infections of the skin and nails, including how to prevent spread and when to seek treatment. Reinforces the importance of regular foot checks and ongoing diabetes management to reduce the risk of serious complications.
