Regular foot examinations can help prevent complications in people with diabetes. However, many diabetics do not regularly ask for an examination of their feet.

In response, the health district’s Office of Chronic Disease Prevention & Health Promotion created signs instructing people with diabetes to remove their shoes and socks for a foot exam and/or referral for proper follow-up care.

Signs are free and available in English and Spanish. To request laminated signs for your exam rooms call (702) 759-1270.
