"The foot can be used as a benchmark for the early detection of diabetes attack. Finger crooked, protruding bones, and flat feet can be the parameters,'' said Staff Endocrine Metabolic Division, Department of Medicine, Dr. Em Yunir Sp KEMD PD, on seminar "Do not ignore abnormalities that appear in the legs! Perform early detection".
Other parameters are the feet that are full of eyelets or wounds. Abnormalities due to diabetes was characterized by thickening (callus) of the skin, hair, the surface of the feet, and nails. Another sign is deformity swelling, joint mobility, color and tissue necrosis.
Diabetes causes the skin of the feet become dry and easy to peel. Similarly with toenails that are too thick or too fragile. '' Examination of diabetes can also be done on the toes. If the examination on toes was found many injuries, it must be aware of diabetes,'' she said.
Diabetic foot examination should be done thoroughly. Inspection done by tracing a history of diabetes, skin disorders examination, a blood vessel disorder in the legs, and the presence or absence of neurological disorders (neuropathy).
Diabetics are advised not to walk barefoot, avoid the use of chemicals or sharp objects to attenuate the thickening on the palms of the feet, smoking, using a ring on the toes, and use a high heel or pointy-toed shoes.
