Daily foot checks help to identify quickly if a problem occurs. Start checking your feet daily today! @UK_diabetes @DiabetesUK @DRWFDiabetes @_diabetes101 @LDC_tweets @EDEN_Leicester @JDRFUK @BeyondType1 #HelpUsHelpYou
If you have #diabetes and see a cut or blister on your foot, it may be a sign of a foot ulcer. Call your GP practice to get it checked as soon as possible — if you have an ulcer or other serious foot problem, you will be referred to see a specialist urgently. 👨⚕️ #HelpUsHelpYou

Wearing the correct shoes if you have neuropathy is essential. Not being able to feel if a shoe is rubbing part of your foot stops you from being able to prevent more damage by removing the shoe or applying a plaster. Just as dangerous is not wearing any footwear.
Shoes are very important for everyone but they’re especially critical for people with diabetes, to help them protect their feet and prevent injury, especially if they are experiencing loss of sensation (neuropathy). Learn more: https://t.co/pindaNlGww

In this #heatwave if you have #diabetes try to resist walking around without shoes, especially if you have neuropathy. You may stand on something sharp, not feel it and end up with a cut you cannot feel. #dailyfoot checks @DGArmstrong @DiabetesUK @DRWFDiabetes @EDEN_Leicester

During the #Coronavirus pandemic, as the advice for anyone with #diabetes is to #StayAtHome, starting to check yr feet daily for changes is the best way to reduce the risk of developing foot ulcers. If you notice any changes contact your #podiatrist/#diabetesnurse/#gp for advice

So #StayAtHome is still advice for anyone with #diabetes. In terms of #footcare - please check your feet daily for changes and if you notice any changes like blister/cut/colour change then contact your #podiatrist #diabetesnurse #gp and ask for advice @DSNforumUK @NHSDiabetesProg
The message during times of #COVID19 for anyone with #Diabetes is simple. Irrespective of type, age, control.... please #StayAtHome unless essential Once data in public domain, any changes to above - if any-as decided by @CMO_England - will be communicated clearly Thank you

Checking daily for cuts or blisters is the best way to reduce the risk of developing a #diabeticfoot ulcer. If you struggle to see the soles of your feet use a #solesee foot inspection mirror - designed specifically for this! @DiabetesUK @EDEN_Leicester @DRWFDiabetes @DSNforumUK

For anyone with #diabetes any damage to the feet which is left, may increase their risk of hospital admission and treatment. Checking feet daily and asking for advice as soon as a change is noted will reduce this risk @DRWFDiabetes @EDEN_Leicester @DSNforumUK @BeyondType1

With regards to #diabeticfoot care the advice is the same - carry out a daily foot check. If you notice anything different like a cut/blister or colour change contact your #podiatrist, diabetes nurse or gp for advice ASAP @UK_diabetes @DRWFDiabetes @DSNforumUK @NHSDiabetesProg
Following the Prime Minister's recent announcement, we’ve updated our coronavirus information for people with diabetes as much as we can: https://t.co/fQrpqQkhmf We'll keep working hard to get you more information, and we’ll continue to update this as we learn more.

A stark reminder to anyone who has had a #diabeticfoot ulcer - the ulcer site may not re-ulcerate but there is more chance or another occurring somewhere else - even on the other foot. Please check your feet daily #footcare @UK_diabetes @DiabetesUK @DRWFDiabetes @EDEN_Leicester
Keep your eyes on your feet! 84% of recurrences of diabetic foot ulcers occur at a site other than the healed location. Nearly half of these are on the other foot. @KeckMedUSC @UMichMedicine

Worth watching for all with #diabetes on how and why to remain active at home during #lockdown. It is also worth remembering to wear supportive footwear in the home and not resort to slippers or walking barefoot especially if you have little or no feeling in yr feet @DRWFDiabetes
During #COVID19, people living with #diabetes are being encouraged to stay at home. @SophieOC86 highlights the benefits of remaining active and how vital it is to regularly break up your sitting time for physical and #mentalhealth. @Leicester_CCD
