Diabetic Foot Care: Treatment, Management & Exercise Guidelines
Diabetic foot is a serious complication of diabetes that can lead to ulcers, infections, and even amputation. This condition arises from damage to blood vessels and nerves, impairing blood flow and reducing sensation in the feet.
Early detection and proper management are crucial for preventing complications. Chez MAIKONG.LTD, we are committed to providing innovative and effective solutions for diabetic foot care, ranging from advanced diagnostic equipment to cutting-edge therapy devices.
Understanding Diabetic Foot
Diabetic foot is a chronic, progressive condition that affects small and large blood vessels, nerves, tendons, bones, and surrounding tissues. It can result from infections or be triggered by various factors. However, the primary cause lies in diabetic vascular disease (leading to insufficient blood supply) and diabetic neuropathy (resulting in loss of sensation).
Early Signs of Diabetic Foot
Early symptoms of diabetic foot can be subtle, including:
- Cold feet
- Numbness or tingling in the feet
- Foot deformities
Advanced Stages of Diabetic Foot
In more severe cases, diabetic foot can progress to:
- Ulcers
- Infections
- Osteomyelitis (bone infection)
- Joint disease

Exercise for Diabetic Foot Care
Regular exercise is crucial for improving blood circulation and overall health in individuals with diabetic foot. Here are some recommended exercises:
- Foot Massage: Use a small massager to gently tap the soles of your feet, improving blood circulation and reducing pressure.
- Leg Elevations: Lie on your back and raise your legs as high as possible, holding for 30 seconds, then lower. Repeat 5-10 times daily.
- Leg Swings: Sit on the edge of a bed and dangle your legs. Swing them back and forth continuously for one minute.
Diabetic Foot Care Tips
- Daily Foot Inspection: Examine your feet daily for any cuts, blisters, redness, or swelling.
- Foot Hygiene: Wash your feet daily with lukewarm water and mild soap. Dry them thoroughly, especially between the toes.
- Footwear: Wear comfortable, well-fitting shoes that provide adequate support and cushioning. Avoid tight shoes or shoes with seams that can rub against your skin.
- Socks: Wear cotton socks that are breathable and moisture-wicking. Avoid wearing socks made of synthetic materials.
