Regular foot care a must to maintain healthy feet for those with diabetes If you have been diagnosed with diabetes, you know that good manage- ment includes regular exams, blood sugar monitoring, exercise and eating a balanced diet. Regular foot care also should be added to your list. Nerve damage, poor circulation and infections can lead to serious foot prob- lems in diabetics. There are precautions you can take, however, to avoid problems and maintain healthy feet. Daily foot care Daily foot care should include wash- ing your feet in warm water with mild soap. Dry your feet well, especially between the toes. Check your feet and toes, including the soles and heels and in between the toes. Ask for help if you are unable to completely see your feet. If your feet feel dry or rough, use a lotion or oil. Avoid the spaces between the toes as that contributes to an infection.

There also was a one-time purchase of blue cornmeal. This was purchased by USDA with a tra- ditional foods grant. You have to give this recipe a try. You can reduce the amount of black pepper if you like. Joyce Retherford, FDP Director 541-444-8393 Black Pepper Beef and Cabbage Stir Fry 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 4 cloves garlic, minced ½ pound ground beef ½ head cabbage, shredded 1 onion, cut into strips 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 teaspoon corn starch ½ cup water 1 tablespoon black pepper Heat wok or large skillet over medium high heat and add oil. Sauté garlic for about 5 seconds, then add ground beef. Stir in cabbage, onion and pepper and cook until vegetables are tender and beef is fully cooked. Stir in soy sauce.

Wear clean socks and change them daily. Avoid socks with seams or that are too tight in the legs. Toenail care Visual difficulty, nerve or circulatory problems can sometimes make routine nail care difficult. Please consult with your health care provider to see if it is safe for you to perform routine toenail care. Here are a few tips: • Trim your nails after washing your feet, when your nails are soft. • • Cut straight across and don’t cut into the corners. Use an emery board to smooth the edges. Be careful not to cut toenails too short. Have your toenails trimmed by a health care provider if you can’t see well or if your nails are thick or yellowed. The Siletz Community Health Clinic has nurses trained in foot and nail care. Call now for an appointment for a diabetic foot exam and nail care.
