Once diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, it is wise to stop taking
your feet for granted. Previously you knew your feet would always
recover with a bit of rest. However with diabetes, changes to your feet
may put them at permanent risk, especially for ulceration.
Foot ulcers are a common complication of Type 2 diabetes. The US National Institute for Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases estimates that 1 in 6 Type 2 diabetics will eventually develop foot ulcers, and about 1 in 100 will eventually have to have an amputation.
Early warning signs of future development of foot ulceration include:
Always check the fitting of your shoes very carefully. Ill fitting shoes can damage your feet... look for these qualities in any shoes you buy:
Treating foot ulcers: If you do develop a foot ulcer, don't waste time in starting treatment... see a podiatrist and have him examine your feet to assess the depth of the ulcer. You may require an X-ray of your feet to rule out any bone involvement. A swab may also be taken to help identify the bacterium present and the anti-biotic required.
As well as caring for your feet, to minimize the risk of foot problems, good control of both your blood sugar levels and blood pressure will help keep these risks under control.

Early warning signs of future development of foot ulceration include:
- bunions
- claw toes, hammer toes, and mallet toes
- feet that easily get cold
- gradual widening and flattening of your feet due to aging
Always check the fitting of your shoes very carefully. Ill fitting shoes can damage your feet... look for these qualities in any shoes you buy:
- firm heels that support your foot
- plenty of room for your toes
- removable insoles to give your feet extra room if they swell
- rocker soles, designed to ease pressure on the ball of your foot
