Summer’s Coming…Are Your Feet Ready?
As the summer approaches, we all have different concerns. For some, it’s losing weight. Others are tanning in preparation for the beach (which I never understood, but apparently lots of people do it!). People with diabetes also must prepare…to protect their feet!
We are creatures of habit. Ever since we were kids, the summer meant a time to kick off our shoes, run barefoot outside and at the beach. In my Houston podiatry practice, it’s clear that even my adult patients still like to do the same. Diabetes, however, complicates this love and deep desire to be barefoot.
