Did you know? Diabetes can make wounds harder to heal.
Diabetes can affect the nerves and blood vessels in your feet. This can make it harder to notice a cut or sore and can also make wounds more difficult to heal.
If you have diabetes, check your feet every day—even if they feel fine. Catching a problem early can make a difference.
If you notice a wound that isn’t healing, talk with a healthcare provider.
