5 Tips For Getting Your Diabetes Under Control and Protecting Your Foot Health
1. Check Your Feet Daily
Make note of any sore spots or numb areas after every check. Finding a problem early is the best way to keep ulcers from forming.
2. Work Closely with Your Internist and Houston Podiatrist
Keep your blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol under control. See your physician and podiatrist regularly to make sure you’re staying on the right track.
3. Think before you eat
Choose fresh, healthy foods that are low in sugar (i.e. NOT a box of Girl Scout Cookies).
4. Get active
Incorporate exercise into your daily routine. Make sure your doctor clears any new physical activity before you try it.
5. De-stress
Read a good book, listen to music, spend time with friends—whatever makes you calm and happy. Research has shown that relaxing helps you keep your blood sugar levels down.
