Diet & Diabetes

What you eat affects your blood sugar, your circulation and how well your body can heal — all of which directly affect your feet. You don't need a perfect diet, just steady, sensible habits.

Helpful habits

• Keep meal times and portions consistent to steady your blood sugar.
• Fill half your plate with vegetables and choose whole grains over refined ones.
• Include protein with meals to stay full and support healing.
• Limit sugary drinks, sweets and deep-fried foods.
• Stay hydrated with water through the day.

Why it matters for your feet

Well-controlled blood sugar lowers your risk of nerve and circulation damage, helps wounds heal faster, and reduces the chance of infection. Combined with daily foot care, good nutrition is a powerful protection.
