National Diabetes Awareness Month

November is officially here, and we're celebrating National Diabetes Awareness Month by giving away free advice and education on diabetic foot care. Nearly 80,000 Americans face limb amputation each year; a frightening risk that in many cases can be prevented. Follow these do's and don's of diabetic foot care to help reduce your risk of limb amputation:

Don't:

• walk barefoot
• smoke
• soak your feet in hot water
• cut corns or calluses yourself
• wear thong sandals
• cross your legs. This can cause pressure on the nerves and blood vessels

Do:

• Have your shoes fitted by a foot care specialist and make sure they feel comfortable at the time of purchase
• Inspect the insides of your shoes for foreign objects or rough areas that might cause blisters.
• Wash your feet daily and dry them carefully.
• Wear socks at all times! Especially if your feet get cold. Try seamless socks that are specifically made for diabetic foot care.

Diabetes and your feet

Our feet are so important and it is crucial to take care of them properly. This becomes extremely important for the diabetic. Wounds, ulcers, neuropathy, and circulatory problems can lead to very difficult issues. Proper foot support, expert fitting of quality shoes, and continual monitoring of the feet are so inportant. We can help!

Meta...? What?

Ball-of-foot pain.....Metatarsalgia. This is pain in the region of the foot just before the toes. There are various causes, but unloading the pressure on the foot in this area can help tremendously....and it is easy to do. www.footsolutions.com/billings

Summer is over.....think of your feet!

During the Summer months we are involved in many events. Work, vacation, hiking, camping, tours, shopping, etc. During these times, our feet tend to not be a priority. Now we feel them...and they hurt. As winter sets in you can now take the time to do something about that foot pain. Proper support is most likely needed. And a high quality shoe would help as well. Find the time to pamper your feet and get them back to making "you feel good!" When your feet feel good, you feel good!

Sharing...caring

Today we shared information about foot pain and properly fitting of the shoe with a wonderful group of Seniors from Huntley, Montana. It is evident that just about everyone has a story to tell about their feet. From "I have no foot pain" to "I dropped a fifty gallon barrel of oil on my foot." Everyone seems to be receptive to a solution. Thanks, Huntley Seniors, for your hospitality. Very enjoyable.
