Changes to watch for with a diabetic foot wound.

What to discuss with the care team

• Reduced feeling can make a foot wound less painful than expected. Lack of pain does not mean it is minor.
• Contact the treating clinician promptly about a new sore or a wound that is not starting to heal.
• Report changes such as redness, warmth, swelling, drainage or darkening tissue.
• Explain when the change began and which foot-care or vascular clinicians are already involved.
