The Herb Doctor

If you have been diagnosed with diabetes, you probably have heard many horror stories about it. Unfortunately, they are probably all true. Many foot problems are particularly severe in diabetics.

Many people want to blame their doctors when it is time for an amputation. Your doctor can provide the testing and treatment plan for you, but it cannot be your nanny. Most actions are up to you.

You may prevent an amputation by taking responsibility for your health. You have to be extremely diligent especially when examining your feet. Check them daily, if not weekly. You should take the following steps at this point:

1. You must be careful not to burn your feet.

2. You should start wearing shoes or other protection on your feet.

3. At this point, you should check your feet several times per day. If you ever see any cuts or other wounds, they should be cleaned and treated promptly. Then you should go to your doctor.

4. Keep in mind that dryness can be a medical condition. Your feet can become infected if it cracks and bleeds. If you ever notice dry skin on your feet, get medical advice on how to properly condition your skin.
