Heating Pads and Diabetes: Safety First

Short answer: diabetes can reduce feeling in the feet, so a burn can happen without you noticing. Ask your doctor first, prefer gentle warmth like wool socks or a pre-warmed bed, and check your skin every day.

Safety rules

• Ask your doctor first before using heat on the feet or legs.
• Never put a hot water bag directly on the feet; never sleep with one in bed.
• Use only the lowest setting, for short sessions.
• Test the warmth with your hand or elbow — or ask someone else to.
• Check your feet every day for redness, blisters or cuts.

Safer ways to keep feet warm

• Soft wool socks and closed slippers indoors.
• Pre-warm the bed with an electric under blanket, then switch it off before getting in.
• Wool knee warmers instead of heat on the knees.

See a doctor for

• Any blister, sore or burn on the feet.
• Numbness, colour changes or a wound that does not heal.
