Diabetic Foot Care
People with diabetes can have problems with their feet because having high blood sugar for a long time can cause issues with nerves and healing.
This means they might not feel if they hurt their foot, like cutting it or burning it. Even small cuts, blisters, burns, or infections can become serious and may lead to sores or the need for amputations.
But the good news is, if people take care of their diabetes well, they can prevent most foot problems, including amputations. Taking good care of their feet is also essential to reduce the chances of having foot problems.
It’s important to check your feet every day if you have diabetes. This helps you catch any potential problems early and prevent them from becoming serious issues.
Regular Diabetic Foot Health Checks, and regular routine podiatry treatments with one of our skilled Podiatrists can help keep your feet in the best condition possible, thereby minimising the risk of diabetic emergencies and long term serious foot problems.
