Food Picker® Updates
Tip of the Week - Foot Care
People with diabetes should check their feet everyday. Nerve complications can lead to numbness in the feet and may
leave you unaware of injury or infection. Follow these steps to keep feet healthy.
- Check for cuts, abrasions, and corns daily.
- Look for cold or warm areas on your feet which may indicate poor circulation or infection.
- Wear comfortable shoes that do not cause blistering or calluses.
- Test water temperature prior to stepping into the tub to avoid burns.
- Ask your doctor to check your feet at visits.
- Never go outside without shoes on.
Monitor blood sugar as recommended by your doctor and check
your feet each day as a part of staying in good health.

 I went online and found your program. WOW, I am so impressed with how you have "put it all together."
I started on your breakfast menu Friday morning and shopped with your shopping list. What a manageable program.
