How to care for diabetic foot? Diabetes poses a serious threat to human physical health, and if left untreated in time, it can lead to various complications, especially diabetic foot disease. This not only leads to disability but can even endanger life. Therefore, patients should seek treatment in a timely manner. Below, let's take a look at how to care for diabetic foot.
How to care for diabetic foot?
1. Psychological adjustment: Most diabetic foot patients realize that diabetes is a chronic disease. Avoidance is not the solution, nor is it possible to eliminate it overnight; it must be seriously faced. Therefore, it is recommended that diabetic foot patients accept it with an attitude of "since it has come, make peace with it," and deal with it by "despising the enemy strategically and taking them seriously tactically." This provides psychological comfort while actively cooperating with medical treatment.
2. Physical exercise: "Life lies in movement," this saying is especially appropriate for diabetic foot patients. Through physical exercise, blood sugar and lipids can be consumed, the nervous and endocrine systems regulated, and negative emotions released, thereby reducing stress and putting mind and body in the best state. This is clearly beneficial for controlling blood sugar and maintaining long-term stability of the condition.
3. Dietary control: One of the most important measures in caring for diabetic foot is dietary control. Otherwise, no matter how much antidiabetic medication is used, blood sugar cannot be effectively or satisfactorily controlled. Therefore, in daily life, diabetic foot patients should strive to cooperate with drug treatment through "less meat and more vegetables, less alcohol and more water, less smoking and more tea, less salt and more vinegar, and less eating and more chewing." Not only does this help control blood sugar and reduce medication dosage, but it also reduces drug side effects and treatment costs.
The above introduction on how to care for diabetic foot. In addition, patients should pay attention to foot care, persisting in soaking their feet in warm water every day, and avoiding walking barefoot to prevent being pricked by foreign objects on the ground. They should also actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
