Special pedicure for diabetics
Diabetes significantly affects the skin of the feet and lower legs, so regular pedicures are necessary.
Foot care is essential for people with diabetes, but unfortunately, people with diabetes should not go to any salon and ask for a pedicure.
Why? Because diabetics suffer from a number of complex conditions that make their feet more susceptible to injury and infection.
Impaired circulation and nerve damage problems are the biggest culprits. Without adequate blood flow, the skin on diabetic feet is typically dry, brittle, prone to infection, and slow to heal - increasing the risk of ulcers and infections. This risk increases because chronically high blood sugar levels can also cause nerve damage, and many people with diabetes develop a condition called diabetic neuropathy. Diabetics regularly (and should!) get pedicures to keep their feet healthy and prevent future skin problems
