Shoe Fitting Tips for People with Diabetes

People living with diabetes often have reduced circulation and sensation in their feet (called neuropathy), and are not able to feel if something in the shoe is irritating their foot. If the foot is irritated by the shoe, it can cause a wound or ulcer, which can be very dangerous for a person with diabetes. Shoe selection and proper foot care is very important.
