What keeps your feet healthy

To help keep your feet healthy, you need to control your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. Decide with your healthcare provider what levels you should aim for. It might help to write down results. You can make your own table to show your lab work and results over time. You can also access your lab work through My Health Records. Here’s an example you could use:

Indicator

Target Level

You might find it useful to track your visits with doctors and other healthcare providers. You can print the document My healthcare and foot care visits (PDF), fill it out, and keep it for your records.
