Preventive Diabetic Foot Care

Preventive diabetic foot care in India stops foot ulcers and amputations before they start — through regular screening, foot-care education, safe medical pedicure and early treatment of risk factors. At EDFC, prevention is built around finding and fixing small problems early, so most serious diabetic foot complications can be avoided.

What is preventive diabetic foot care?

Preventive foot care is a planned routine of professional foot checks, patient education, nail and callus care, and footwear advice designed to keep the skin intact and catch danger signs early. Most diabetes-related amputations begin with a foot ulcer, and most of those ulcers are preventable — making prevention the most powerful, lowest-cost step a person with diabetes can take.

With an estimated 101 million people living with diabetes in India (ICMR-INDIAB, 2023), routine preventive care protects both the foot and quality of life.

Who should follow a preventive foot-care programme?

• Everyone with diabetes, even with healthy-feeling feet
• People with neuropathy or reduced foot sensation
• Anyone with a past ulcer, infection or amputation
• Those with foot deformity, corns or thick calluses
• People who cannot easily see or reach their own feet

Prevention pairs naturally with a yearly diabetic foot assessment and the right diabetic footwear.
