As John Scallions explains, protecting your feet starts with paying attention to changes early and staying consistent with your diabetes and vascular care.

Here are a few ways to help protect your feet:

✔️ Check your feet regularly for cuts, sores, or changes
✔️ Follow your prescribed medications and treatment plan
✔️ Keep diabetes and other health conditions well managed
✔️ Get new or slow-healing wounds checked promptly
✔️ Talk to a vascular specialist about circulation concerns

💙 Don't ignore changes in your feet. Early attention can help support foot health and mobility.
