There’s no doubt that diabetes is hard on the feet. Specially designed slippers for diabetics are just one way to minimize the damage that diabetes plays on your feet. Wearing appropriate diabetic shoes and diabetic socks throughout the day are common ways to deal with foot problems. Cleaning your feet and practicing better diabetic foot care and hygiene are others.
If you are a woman in particular you need to be protecting your feet around the house. More women than men work in the home and as a result more women than men will need good slippers or house shoes. The reason is simple: it’s easier to injure you feet in the home and it’s easier to get infection in the home when you are not wearing protective foot wear.
Think of the last time you cut skin on your foot, stubbed a toe, or even cracked a bone in your foot. Unless you were on long hike you probably did it in the home. Walking barefoot in the kitchen is a easy way to get bacteria into foot wounds and it is a perfect illustration as to why wearing good protective slippers is so important.
