Tips for diabetics
The Ministry of Health has published a number of tips for people with diabetes and the feet.
The ministry said on its page on the social networking site Twitter, that whoever intends to perform Hajj from patients with diabetes must take some tips for foot safety.
The ministry added that the feet should be examined by a foot and ankle specialist before Hajj, in addition to washing and drying the feet daily.
And the ministry continued, saying that walking “barefoot” should be avoided, and powder should be placed between the toes to keep the skin dry.
The Ministry of Health indicated that you should avoid removing layers of thick and hardened skin by yourself to avoid wounding the skin, in addition to avoiding creams between your toes to reduce moisture, as well as cutting nails straight, and smoothing sharp edges with a nail file.
