Looking after your eyes, feet and kidneys
The yearly checks that protect you, and daily foot care.
Draft · awaiting clinician review
Eyes
Have a retinal eye screening every year. Diabetic eye disease often has no early symptoms, and early treatment protects your sight. DAQIQ researchers develop AI that helps grade retinal images.
Feet
- Check your feet every day for cuts, blisters or redness.
- Do not walk barefoot, especially on hot floors or sand.
- Wear well-fitting shoes and moisturise dry skin, but not between the toes.
- See your clinician about any wound that does not start healing within a few days.
Kidneys
A yearly urine test (ACR) and blood test check your kidneys. Good blood pressure and blood sugar control protect them.
