What is daily diabetic foot care training?

Daily foot care training teaches you the simple routine of checking, washing, drying, moisturising and protecting your feet every day to prevent ulcers. At EDFC it is delivered by Dr. Ashutosh Shah's team in Surat and Vizianagaram.

How should a diabetic check their feet daily?

Look over the whole foot each day, including the soles and between the toes, for redness, cuts, blisters or swelling. If you cannot see the soles, use a mirror or ask a family member to help.

Why should diabetics dry between their toes?

Moisture left between the toes can soften the skin and encourage fungal infection and breakdown. Drying gently but thoroughly between the toes, while moisturising the rest of the foot, helps prevent this.

Why should diabetics not walk barefoot?

Nerve damage means you may not feel a sharp object, hot floor or rough surface. Walking barefoot risks an injury you would not notice, so wearing protective footwear even indoors is strongly advised.

When should I contact a doctor about my foot?

Contact the clinic promptly if you see a new cut, blister, redness, swelling, colour change or discharge, or if a wound is not improving. Early action prevents small problems from becoming ulcers.

Is daily foot care training suitable for elderly patients?

Yes. Training is tailored to your eyesight and mobility, and family members or carers can be taught alongside you, so the routine remains practical and safe for everyone.

Daily Foot Care Training

Learn the simple daily routine that stops most diabetic foot ulcers before they start, in India.

Daily diabetic foot care training in India teaches you the simple, proven self-care routine, checking, washing, drying, moisturising and protecting your feet every day, that prevents most diabetic foot ulcers before they can start. At Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC) this training is delivered by Dr. Ashutosh Shah and our foot-care team at clinics in Surat, Gujarat and Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh.

Why Daily Foot Care Matters

Because nerve damage removes pain, a diabetic foot can be injured without you noticing until an ulcer forms. A daily habit of looking after and checking your feet is one of the cheapest and most powerful ways to stay ulcer-free. The IWGDF 2023 guidelines place patient self-care education at the centre of prevention.
