3. Take good care of your feet.
When you have DPN, it’s a definite must that you thoroughly wash and dry your feet on a daily basis. Also, always make sure that your shoes are well-fitted and that your socks are clean and dry. Be sure to trim your toenails straight across – or have them trimmed by a professional. Lastly, stay away from any antiseptic products and sharp tools, including nail files, as they may cause injury and further damage.
4. Communicate with your doctor.
Inspect your feet regularly. If you notice anything unusual, such as a foot injury that’s taking longer to heal than normal, inform your doctor right away!
