Taking care of your feet if you have diabetes is extremely important.

There are a number of suggestions diabetes specialists have to keep feet healthy. One is seeing a podiatrist annually. Another is keeping blood flowing to the feet.

Keeping proper checks of your A1c, blood pressure and cholesterol is also important.
