(HealthDay News) -- Open wounds, or ulcers, can develop on the feet of people with diabetes, often due to poor blood circulation.

  • See a medical professional regularly.
  • Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol.
  • Following your doctor's orders to help control cholesterol and blood glucose levels.
  • Wear appropriate shoes and socks.
