No Pain Doesn't Mean No Problem. For many people with diabetes, nerve damage can reduce or even eliminate the ability to feel pain in the feet. As a result, cuts, blisters, burns, or pressure injuries may go unnoticed until they become serious. That's why waiting for pain is never a good idea. Check your feet every day for: ----
• Cuts or blisters
• Redness or swelling
• Cracks in the skin
• Changes in skin color
• Wounds that aren't healing
Early detection and timely treatment can help prevent infections, foot ulcers, and other serious complications. Your feet may not hurt—but they still need your attention.
