What should I do if my heels hurt due to high blood sugar?

High blood sugar is a manifestation of diabetes, and it is also the problem that people with diabetes need to control most. Once blood sugar remains too high for a long time, it can easily cause great harm to the body, such as slow wound healing and ulcers. Among them, diabetic foot is a more serious manifestation. Its initial manifestation is heel pain. Let’s take a look at what to do if you have heel pain due to high blood sugar?

1. Drug treatment

The first thing we should do is to control the patient's blood sugar and ensure that it is healthy and stable. For patients with more severe diabetes, hypoglycemic drugs or insulin can be used for treatment. At the same time, check the patient's foot blood vessels and nerves, and use medication or surgery in a timely manner to clear and repair vascular lesions in patients, thereby alleviating the pain in the patient's feet.

Patients with severe ulcers and gangrene need to undergo timely debridement and infection control. For patients who do not respond to conventional dressing changes, good medicines such as Yu's Tang Ju Kang can be used for dressing change treatment. At the same time, you can take some antibiotics orally under the guidance of a doctor to control wound inflammation and infection.

2. Pay attention to foot care

Wash your feet with warm water every day to maintain blood circulation and reduce local inflammation. Keep warm. In winter, special attention should be paid to keeping feet warm and avoiding cold stimulation. The shoes should be the right size, soft and loose enough to allow all toes to lie flat and move slightly. The sole should be of a certain thickness, soft on the outside and soft on the inside, especially the inside of the heel should be elastic. It is best to put a thin insole inside the shoe to evenly distribute your body weight. If the sole is too thin or too soft, it may damage your feet.

3. Adjust your diet

Diabetics can eat a high-calcium diet, such as dried shrimp skin, kelp, seaweed, crispy fish, seaweed, sesame paste, calcium-rich animal bone soup, vitamin C-rich foods such as fresh vegetables and fruits, and drink more milk and soy milk. 100 grams of tofu dregs contains 100 mg of calcium, which is almost the same amount of calcium in milk. It is the cheapest and most valuable calcium supplement.
