Foot problems can develop in anyone who had diabetes, but older patients with uncontrolled insul- diabetes or with dependent disease are particularly susceptible. Smoking, in-dependent non-insul- in deformities like bunions or hammertoes, and a history of foot ulcers also increase the risk. Most diabetic foot problems are associated with neuropathy, pe- ripheral vascular disease (PVD), andor infection. If left untreated, these problems could result in amputation of all or part of the foot. Caregivers must realize the importance of checking the feet every day, even if the patient has never had any trouble with then, and his diabetes is well controlled. Begin by inspecting and feeling the top and bottom of each foot, then the toes, toenails, the area between the toes, and the heels. Check for cuts, cracks, blisters, bruises, swelling, calluses, ingrown toenails and any signs of fungus such as thickened toenails or yellow skin. Ulcers between toes may indicate fungal infection. A very good time to examine the foot is after a shower or bath, which should be limited to five minutes to avoid drying out the skin. A person who has extremely dry skin should not bathe every day. Too much washing depletes natural oils. Because the patient may have dimin ished sensitivity in his hands as well as his feet, test the water first with an elbow or bath thermometer to make sure its not too hot. Be sure to dry his feet gently, but thoroughly, particularly the nails and between the toeB, where fungal infections often breed. At the signs of any foot problems, the patients physician should be notified. Many times a cut or scrape can be washed with a mild soap, dried and covered with a plain gauze pad, one thats big enough to wrap around the areas so that tape can be secured to the gauze - not the skin; and this may be the only needed intervention. However, the area must be checked regularly and if there are no signs of healing, more intense interventions must be taken. IF the patient has no foot problems, apply moisturizer to all surfaces of the feet except the areas between the toes. Moisture buildup there can lead to skin breakdown. Besides teaching your patient the importance of good foot care, explain to him how important it is to cover them properly. He should not go barefoot, but always wear socks and shoes. The shoes should be well fitting, made of natural fibers and allow the feet to breath and do not trap moisture. Women should wear pantyhose with some cotton in them. Socks should fit snugly, but not too tightly. The patient should -- Bardsley rites held July 8 at Grand View Ward Chapel North Sevier sophomore of brother; named to Who's Who Eunice Elizabeth Deakin Bardsley age 77 passed away peacefuilMon-da- y July 5, 1994 at Crestview Care Cento in Provo.

The sad truth is that kids dont come with instructions. With little or no training were given a kit which we readily put toWe notice how beautiful it is; gether. the count fingers and toes to make sure we assembled ten of each; and then wonder what to do with it. The first year we mostly hear its alarm and race to see how to shut if off. Starting the second year, it begins to do things that we dont remember programming it to do. Those ten fingers stick to things (especially breakable) like they were velcro; it is constantly damaging its casing; and the alarm still keeps going off without warning. As it ages, it seems to produce more and more programs enabling it to accomplish a great variety of maneuvers, some we may not approve of. The alarm, although not so high and piercing, still sounds often. In fact, the alarm starts telling us what to do as if the creation now thinks its smarter than its creators. We try our best to program our creation with good, worthwhile programs but its very difficult because there are no instructions. Its usually years before we twenty to twenty-fiv- e built-it-yours- Actually, what we are talking about are our children not computers or machines. The one program we havent talked about is love. We love our children and want them to grow up to be honest, upstanding adults. We do our best but sometimes we need to have a little help since kids dont come with instructions.
