Keep good control of your blood sugar.
Carefully check your feet daily for any small sores or blisters. Watch any sores or blisters carefully, if they aren't healing or are worsening, see your doctor.
Always wear good shoes, keep your toenails trimmed. Apply a good lotion to your feet daily.

Extreme diligence, and following their insulin/diet regimen to the letter.
Diabetics a lot of times can't feel when there is a problem with their feet, so they don't know that anything's wrong until things are out of hand. My grandfather has diabetes, and years ago, he actually wore the bottom of his feet OFF because he didn't realize they were blistered (he'd gotten it in his head to do this state-wide walk, and didn't stop, check his feet, change his socks really often, etc.) You have to make the concious effort to catch things that are obvious to people who have no feet problems.

Control of blood sugar and foot hygiene is extremely important. Apart from insulin and other medicines, control of blood sugar is possible by diet changes esp. keeping a track of the GI (Glycemic Index) of the foods and preferring low GI foods. Fiber helps in reducing the absorption of sugar into blood.
