Transcript
Quick Foot Check
A quick two-minute habit can spot foot trouble before it hurts.
At a Glance
Check both feet daily in good light right after shower, about two minutes.
Why Feet Need Routine
High sugar can numb foot nerves; early signs are tingling or burning, later you may not feel cuts.
Traditional Oil Care
Traditional oil rubs soften dry feet, but avoid rubbing red areas or applying on open wounds.
2-Minute Daily Check
In bright light, lift each foot, examine top, sole, between toes, and feel for warmth.
What It Won’t Do
It won’t lower sugar or heal nerves, but it gives early warning of problems.
When to See Doctor
If you lose feeling, have a wound, foul smell, or fever, see a professional right away.
Safety Tips
Never soak numb feet in hot water; don’t cut calluses yourself; get help if a wound won’t heal.
Who Can Skip
If you don’t have diabetes, a formal daily check isn’t needed, though basic hygiene helps.
Try It Tonight
After shower, sit, light on, look at both feet for two minutes before socks.
Takeaway
