Diabetes Notes

New Thermometer Measures Good Foot Health

by Kendra James, RN on January 17th, 2008

Here is a new tool that seems kind of nifty and useful! Being a diabetic does not always come without complications, as you all very well know, and the risk of developing ulcers on a foot that has little feeling due to neuropathy is very scary! There is now a foot thermometer that will allow you to monitor the temperature in your feet and compare them so that you have a heads up to be aware of the increases risk of an ulcer.

The new foot thermometer costs about $150 and insurance companies do not cover the cost. The TempTouch® thermometer is only available by prescription. For more information, log onto the company’s website.
