Preventing Diabetic Complications: Foot Care, Eye Health in Houston, Texas

For those living with diabetes, managing blood sugar is essential—but it’s just one part of preventing complications. At Houston Concierge Medicine (HCM), we emphasize proactive foot and eye care to help prevent issues like neuropathy and vision loss.

Foot Care Tips: Diabetes can reduce blood flow to the feet, increasing the risk of infections and injuries. Regularly check your feet for cuts, blisters, or redness. Keep feet clean, dry, and moisturized (but avoid between the toes). Wear comfortable, well-fitting shoes and avoid walking barefoot. If you notice any changes, consult your healthcare provider promptly.

Eye Health Tips: Diabetes heightens the risk of diabetic retinopathy and vision loss. Schedule annual eye exams, as early detection is key. Control blood sugar and blood pressure levels to reduce eye strain and slow disease progression.

At HCM, our personalized care approach helps monitor and prevent diabetic complications. Schedule a consultation to learn how our team can support your foot and eye health and overall diabetes management.
