Taking care of your feet is crucial when you have diabetes. We start by soaking your feet in warm water for about ten minutes to soften the nails. After drying your feet completely, use a nail clipper to trim your nails straight across, avoiding cutting them too short to prevent ingrown toenails. Smooth the edges with a nail file to avoid sharp corners. Always check your feet for any cuts or redness afterward, and contact your doctor if you notice any problems. Keeping your feet healthy is key. Thank you for watching! Like and subscribe for more content.
