Warning Symptoms & Signs
of Diabetic Foot Problems
Look at
Your Feet
Every Day...

Remember, any injury to the foot or break in the skin is potentially serious in a person with diabetes. So look at your feet every day, especially between the toes. If poor vision or arthritis makes it hard for you to do this yourself, have someone look at your feet.
Notify your doctor if you see any of the following:
        • Puncture wounds
        • Cuts or scrapes that do not heal
        • Ingrown toenails
        • Corns and calluses
        • Problems due to poor fitting shoes
        • Any injuries to the feet
        • Discoloration, pain, redness, or swelling
        • Pain in the calves during walking or exercise
Very Important...
Make sure your feet and legs are examined every time you visit your physician.
