Foot care is not a luxury. The prevention of foot problems cannot be over emphasized, especially for seniors. Foot problems are very common in people with arthritis, circulatory problems or diabetes. 

 

Diabetes can lead to serious complications and your feet can be affected in 2 ways. Diabetes affects the circulation and immune system, which in turn impairs the body’s ability to heal itself. You may also lose some feeling in your feet due to nerve damage. As a result, people with diabetes are less likely to feel a foot injury, such as a blister or cut. Unnoticed and untreated, even small foot injuries can potentially leading to serious complications.
