Skip Hot Tubs
When people with diabetes develop nerve damage or neuropathy, its hard to tell if the bath water is too hot. They wont realize they are actually scalding their skin, explains Dr. Tillet. Stepping into a bath before checking the temperature can cause serious damage to your feet, and burns and blisters are open doors to infection. Use your elbow to check the water temperature before getting into the tub or shower.
