Discuss access, assistance and the main concern when enquiring.
Before diabetic footcare, share relevant health history, medications, allergies, previous wounds and changes in sensation or circulation.
This information helps the nurse assess suitable care and the need for another professional.
FootPrints provides routine diabetic footcare, rather than a diabetic-ulcer or infection treatment service.
A wound or suspected infection needs appropriate medical assessment; do not wait for a routine appointment.
Diabetes Canada recommends checking feet daily for changes such as cuts, cracks, blisters or sores.
A mirror or assistance can help when the soles are difficult to see; discuss an appropriate routine with the care team.
Diabetes Canada advises against foot soaking and over-the-counter corn-removal products for people with diabetes.
Seek advice about a foot concern instead of using those methods.
New foot redness, warmth, swelling or pain in a person with diabetes needs prompt medical advice.
Do not wait for the next routine appointment or a website’s week-one or week-two checkpoint.
Before diabetic footcare, have your medication and allergy information and questions ready for the nurse.
Ask for any preparation instructions specific to your needs rather than assuming a routine from another treatment applies.
On the day of diabetic footcare, follow the instructions given for the care you received.

During the week after diabetic footcare, follow the agreed plan and raise new or continuing concerns with the appropriate healthcare professional.
The first-week label is a check-in point, not a seven-day recovery promise.
Follow-up for diabetic footcare should be agreed with the nurse based on assessment and continuing needs.
