As World Diabetes Day 2025 approaches, the theme ‘Diabetes and Well-being’ underscores the importance of holistic health management for individuals living with diabetes. Among the critical yet often neglected aspects of diabetes care is foot health. For diabetics, foot care is not merely a cosmetic concern but a vital component of overall well-being. Poor circulation and nerve damage, common in diabetes, heighten the risk of foot ulcers, infections, and even amputations if left unchecked. Regular foot examinations, daily inspections, and wearing appropriate footwear are essential preventive measures. Moisturising the skin is equally important, as dry skin caused by nerve damage can lead to cracks, creating entry points for infections. Using diabetic-specific moisturisers can help maintain skin hydration and reduce complications. For those seeking to indulge in pedicures, diabetic-friendly spas offer specialised care, ensuring procedures are conducted with utmost safety and precision. Communication with spa staff about medical conditions and specific needs is crucial. Beyond foot care, diabetics must also prioritise sun protection. High blood sugar levels can impair collagen production, making the skin more vulnerable to damage. Applying high-SPF sunscreen and wearing protective clothing can mitigate risks of sunburn and skin cancer. Daily moisturising, staying hydrated, and avoiding harsh chemicals are additional steps to maintain skin health. Regular skin checks for abnormalities are vital for early detection of potential issues. As we commemorate World Diabetes Day 2025, let us remember that proactive care of feet and skin can significantly enhance quality of life and prevent serious complications. Your well-being is in your hands—prioritise your health daily. Delicia Burris, owner of Glorious Touch Health and Wellness Spa, emphasises these practices for a healthier future.
