Whether you've been newly diagnosed with diabetes, or you've been struggling with the disease for some time, taking care of your feet should be high on your to do list. Having diabetes means having artery disease and nerve disease. Simply put, the artery disease can lead to poor circulation in your feet, and the nerve disease can lead to loss of feeling, or neuropathy. Both can cause a ton of medical problems for the foot. If not properly treated, the worst case scenario is foot amputation.

Don't worry--there's good news! Most amputations are totally preventable. Understanding how to take good care of your feet is the key. Your doctor can tell you about all the things you can do to keep your feet in tip-top shape.
