Seriously, Who Knew Toenails Were so Important!
OK, so mom always taught me to keep my fingernails and toenails clean and neatly trimmed. I always thought she was a little obsessive about it. But now that I’ve been diagnosed with diabetes, this toenail thing is serious business. The diabetes clinic where I go had a patient last year who did not properly care for his toenails. He stubbed his toe on a coffee table and pulled the toenail back. Next thing you know, the toe got infected. You see, diabetes makes healing more difficult—especially for your toes. The infection worsened and there was nothing they could do. Last week, the guy had his foot amputated. All because he didn’t trim his toenails. Thanks mom, seriously.
