Diabetes Foot & Skin Safety Checklist
The Diabetes Foot & Skin Safety Checklist was developed for people who need a focused way to promotes routine observation and early reporting of foot or skin concerns. Instead of asking users to remember scattered details, it organizes daily inspection, temperature or color change, cracks, blisters, footwear, sensation, hygiene, nail concerns, and when to call.
Its prompts are designed for use between appointments, during care transitions, or when preparing a concise update for a healthcare professional. The format keeps attention on observable information and provider-directed next steps rather than diagnosis or self-prescribing.
This skin health resource should be used with individualized clinical instructions. Urgent or rapidly worsening symptoms require appropriate medical evaluation. It is designed to complement—not replace—clinical care.
