Rationale of the Week | Best action to treat a corn?
For last week’s practice question, we quizzed test takers on why diabetes foot care is important. 93% of respondents chose the best answer. We want to share this important information, so you can pass it on to people living with diabetes and your colleagues, plus prepare for exam success!
Before we start though, if you don’t want any spoilers and haven’t tried the question yet, you can answer it below: Answer Question
Question: A person with diabetes has small corn on their pinky toe and it bothers them when walking.
What is the best first action?
Answer Choices:
- Instruct them on to how to safely use a liquid corn remover.
- Encourage them to buy a shoe size larger than their usual shoe size.
- Carefully trim the corn with a sterile instrument and cover with gauze padding.
- Refer the person to a foot specialist.
As shown above, the most common choice was option 4, the second most common answer was option 2, then a tie for options 1 and 3.
Getting to the Best Answer
Answer 1 is incorrect. 2.10% chose this answer, “Instruct them on to how to safely use a liquid corn remover.” The problem with corn and callus liquid or patch treatments, is that they contain salicylic acid, which can remove the callus/corn, but also damage the healthy tissue underneath. This disruption in skin integrity can lead to ulcerations and increase the risk of skin infections, especially if the person with diabetes is experiencing blood glucose elevations.

Answer 2 is incorrect. 2.69% of you chose this answer, “Encourage them to buy a shoe size larger than their usual shoe size.” While it is important to make sure there is plenty of room to wiggle toes and avoid rubbing from tight fitting shoes, it is also important to avoid ill fitting shoes. Wearing too large of shoes can lead to slippage and increased friction resulting in blisters and ulcers. These teaching sheets demonstrate an easy strategy to make sure that people are wearing the best size shoes for their foot shape. Foot Care Teaching Sheet – Steps to Healthy Feet.

Answer 3 is incorrect. 2.10% of respondents chose this answer, “Carefully trim the corn with a sterile instrument and cover with gauze padding.” People diabetes are strongly discouraged from performing any “bathroom surgery” to self-treat foot problems. Approved foot care tools for foot care include, nail clippers, nail file, soap and water, washcloth, gentle scrub brush, lotions, socks and shoes.

Foot Care Teaching Sheet in Spanish– Pasos Para Tener Pies Sanos.
Finally, Answer 4 is incorrect. 93.11% chose this answer, “Refer the person to a foot specialist.” GREAT JOB. Most people chose this answer for good reason, the action of referring a person with foot problems to a Podiatrist significantly reduces the risk of ulceration, infection and amputation. By identifying and referring people with high risk feet to specialists, we can reverse the trend of increasing amputations and improve quality of life.

Before we start though, if you don’t want any spoilers and haven’t tried the question yet, you can answer it below: Answer Question Question: Why is it important that people with diabetes pay special attention to taking care of their feet? Answer Choices: As shown above, the most common choice was option 2, the second most common answer was option 4, then a tie for options 1 and 3. Answer 1 is incorrect. 1.39% chose this answer, “Years of insulin injections can increase risk of lower extremity complications.” Insulin injections don’t increase the risk of lower extremity problems and they might even reduce the risk of vascular disease by improving blood glucose levels. Answer 2 is correct. 91.29% of you chose this answer, “People with diabetes often experience changes in lower extremity sensation and circulation.” YES, GREAT JOB. Diabetes can contribute to increased risk of vessel disease and neuropathy if blood glucose levels and blood pressure readings are chronically above target. Of course, genetics and environment also play a role in increasing or decreasing the risk of lower extremity complications. By providing people with diabetes strategies to protect lower extremities and care for their feet, health care professionals make a big dent in improving outcomes.

This handout covers the important elements of foot care for people living with diabetes with simple and straightforward language and is also available in Spanish, Foot Care Teaching Sheet in Spanish– Pasos Para Tener Pies Sanos. Answer 3 is incorrect. 1.39% of respondents chose this answer, “Unusual skin growths are associated with diabetes unless preventative measures are routinely used.” People with diabetes are not at increased risk of skin growths, however they are at risk for fungal infections, especially if blood sugars are elevated. Keeping feet clean and dry, especially in between toes can help ward off infections and interdigit maceration.

Finally, Answer 4 is incorrect. 5.92% chose this answer, “Everyone with diabetes needs a referral to a Podiatrist to prevent foot problems from starting.” A person with diabetes, well managed glucose levels, who can safely provide their own foot care does not need a referral to a Podiatrist. However, people with neuropathy, vascular disease, foot deformities, thick toenails, or a history of foot problems, usually benefit from being referred to a Podiatrist for assessment and care.

No matter your profession, learning the basics of lower extremity assessment can help you to identify when people with diabetes are in jeopardy of serious foot problems. Basic foot care assessment and education can reduce the risk of amputation by over 50%. According to a 2019 article published in Diabetes Care, the rate of amputations in the U.S. is increasing. Each year, people with diabetes experience over 100,000 non-traumatic amputations. In the United States, every 17 seconds someone is diagnosed with diabetes, and every day 230 Americans with diabetes will suffer an amputation. There are also major health disparities in people at the highest risk of losing their lower extremities. African Americans are 4 times more likely to experience diabetes-related amputation than whites. If each one of us reading this article prevented ONE amputation, we could prevent 40, 000 amputations. By assessing and screening for feet at risk, including using a monofilament to detect loss of protective sensation, diabetes healthcare professionals can immediately identify high-risk feet and take steps to protect lower extremities. Learn how to take an active role in decreasing this devastating loss of limb and often life.

As president and founder of Diabetes Educational Services, Beverly is dedicated to optimizing diabetes care and improving the lives of those with diabetes. People with diabetes are at increased risk of foot complications. By using a 5.07 monofilament (delivers 10gms of linear pressure) to assess for loss of sensation, diabetes health care professionals can immediately identify high-risk feet and take steps to protect lower extremities. Basic foot care education and intervention can reduce the risk of amputation by over 50 percent. We are excited to provide these single-use 5.07 monofilaments in packs of 20.

We want to share this important information, so you can pass it on to people living with diabetes and your colleagues, plus prepare for exam success! Before we start though, if you don’t want any spoilers and haven’t tried the question yet, you can answer it below: Answer Question Question: ADA Standards of Care recommend using a 5.07 monofilament to evaluate for loss of protective sensation in lower extremities in people with diabetes. Which of the following statements is most accurate regarding using a monofilament to assess lower extremities? Answer Choices: As shown above, the most common choice was option 1, the second most common answer was option 4, then option 2, and finally 3. Answer 1 is correct. 60.00% chose this answer, “When using the monofilament, test above or below thickened or callused skin.” YES, GREAT JOB. Many people with diabetes have calluses and thickened skin that will block the sensation of 10gms of linear pressure delivered by the monofilament. For this reason, avoid areas with thickened insensate skin and test for sensation above or below the callused location. Answer 2 is incorrect. 11.27% of you chose this answer, “Be careful not to bend the monofilament when testing for sensation.” Actually, to deliver 10gms of linear pressure using a monofilament, the examiner needs to slightly bend the 5.07 filament into a “C” position. This will deliver the correct amount of pressure to evaluate if the person is experiencing loss of sensation. Answer 3 is incorrect. 4.13% of respondents chose this answer, “Alternate between hot and cold testing with monofilament testing to enhance accuracy.” Hot and cold testing is a strategy to determine if the person has decreased temperature sensation. However alternating between these two assessment techniques won’t enhance the testing accuracy of the monofilament. Finally, Answer 4 is incorrect. 24.60% chose this answer, “Rotate monofilament testing between the medial malleolus and distal phalanges for best results.” This is a juicy answer with some cool foot terms. The medial malleolus is actually the bump that protrudes on the inner ankle and the distal phalanges are the tips of the toes. The inner ankle is not one of the points of assessment using a monofilament. The large toe, the foot pad and heel are locations included in a foot assessment using a 5.07 monofilament.
