Diabetes can reduce feeling and blood flow in your feet, so a minor issue can become serious before you notice it. Knowing the warning signs helps you act early.
Signs that need attention
- A cut, blister, or sore that will not heal
- Redness, warmth, or swelling
- Drainage, odor, or changes in skin color
- New numbness, tingling, or burning
- Thick, discolored nails or cracked, dry skin
Why early care matters
Prompt treatment prevents infections, ulcers, and more serious complications. Regular diabetic foot checks catch problems while they are still small.
