On World Diabetes Day, take care of your feet starting today!

 

 

 

This year, the theme "Early action on diabetes" takes on its full meaning when it comes to Diabetes foot Infection Prevention.

 

Severe complications do not develop overnight. They often begin with a simple redness, a neglected callus or a painless blister, which goes unnoticed due to loss of sensation. Without a prompt response, an apparently minor wound can quickly worsen.

Acting early means adopting essential protective habits every day:

  • Examine your feet every day, including between the toes
  • Wear comfortable, well-fitting shoes
  • Consult a healthcare professional promptly at the first unusual sign

Prof. Maimouna Ndour Mbaye, from the Marc Sankale Centre in Dakar, explains in this video the key steps to take to care for your feet on a daily basis and maintain your mobility.

 

👉 Get ahead: take care of your feet starting today
