❓ July FAQ

"Why do my feet swell more during the summer?"

Warmer temperatures cause blood vessels to expand, which can lead to increased swelling—especially if you're spending more time outdoors or standing for long periods.

A few ways to help reduce swelling include:
✔️ Stay well hydrated.
✔️ Elevate your feet when resting.
✔️ Take short walking breaks if you've been sitting for a while.
✔️ Wear properly fitting supportive shoes.
✔️ Avoid shoes that become tight as your feet swell.

If swelling is sudden, severe, or accompanied by pain, contact your healthcare provider promptly.

Keeping your feet comfortable during the summer starts with wearing shoes that fit correctly.

❓ Did You Know ❓

A small blister may not seem like a big deal—but for someone living with diabetes, it can quickly become something much more serious.

Diabetes can reduce feeling in your feet, making it easy to miss cuts, blisters, or pressure spots before they worsen.
That's why daily foot checks are so important.

Take just a minute each day to:
✔️ Look for cuts or blisters.
✔️ Check for redness or swelling.
✔️ Feel for areas that are unusually warm.
✔️ Ask for help or use a mirror if you have trouble seeing the bottoms of your feet.

Early detection can make all the difference.

Healthy feet help keep you active all summer long!

✈️ Traveling this summer? Don't forget to pack for your feet, too!
Whether you're taking a weekend getaway, visiting family, or heading to the beach, your feet deserve the same attention as the rest of your travel plans—especially if you have diabetes.

Before you leave home:
✔️ Pack supportive, well-fitting shoes.
✔️ Bring extra moisture-wicking socks.
✔️ Never walk barefoot in hotel rooms, around pools, or on the beach.
✔️ Check your feet each evening for redness, blisters, cuts, or irritation.

Even a small injury can become a serious problem if it goes unnoticed. A few minutes of daily foot care while traveling can help keep your vacation enjoyable and worry-free.

If it's time for new diabetic shoes or inserts, we're happy to help you determine your Medicare eligibility before your next trip.

❓ June FAQ: Can I Wear Sandals If I Have Diabetes?

This is one of the most common questions we hear during the summer months.

The answer is: it depends on the sandal and your individual foot health needs.

Many traditional sandals and flip-flops leave your feet exposed and may not provide the support, cushioning, or protection needed to help reduce the risk of injury. Open designs can increase the chances of cuts, scrapes, burns from hot surfaces, and irritation from straps or friction.

For individuals with diabetes, even minor foot injuries can become more serious if they go unnoticed or don't heal properly.

When evaluating summer footwear, look for features such as:

✔️ Proper arch support and cushioning
✔️ A secure fit that helps prevent slipping and rubbing
✔️ Adjustable straps for a customized fit
✔️ Quality materials that reduce pressure and friction
✔️ Protection for sensitive areas of the foot

While closed-toe shoes often provide the highest level of protection, some individuals may benefit from specially designed diabetic sandals that offer more support and stability than traditional sandals.

👣 We do carry diabetic-friendly sandal options for patients who want a cooler footwear choice during the summer months. However, it's important to note that diabetic sandals are not covered under the Medicare Therapeutic Shoe Program.

If you're unsure whether your current footwear is providing the support and protection your feet need, we're happy to help evaluate your options and discuss what may work best for your lifestyle.

👣 Daily Summer Foot Care: Small Habits Make a Big Difference

As temperatures rise, your feet face additional challenges. Heat, humidity, and increased activity can lead to excess moisture, swelling, friction, and irritation that may affect your comfort and overall foot health.

For individuals with diabetes, a simple daily foot care routine can play an important role in preventing minor issues from becoming more serious concerns. Taking just a few minutes each day to care for your feet can help you stay active and enjoy all the activities summer has to offer.

A healthy summer foot care routine includes:

✔️ Inspecting your feet daily for cuts, blisters, redness, swelling, or changes in skin condition
✔️ Washing your feet with warm water and mild soap
✔️ Drying thoroughly, especially between the toes where moisture can become trapped
✔️ Wearing clean, breathable socks and properly fitting shoes
✔️ Addressing any discomfort, pressure points, or irritation as soon as you notice them

It's also important to pay attention to signs that something may not be right. If you notice a wound that isn't healing, persistent redness, unusual swelling, or changes in sensation, contact your healthcare provider promptly.

💡 Summer is also a great reminder to schedule your annual diabetic foot exam if you haven't already done so. Regular foot evaluations can help identify potential problems early and support long-term foot health.

Remember, good foot care doesn't have to be complicated. A few consistent daily habits can help keep your feet healthy, comfortable, and ready for wherever summer takes you.

☀️ Healthy feet help you stay active, independent, and enjoying the season.
