Footcare for Diabetics
Many people with Diabetes can end up having problems with their feet and legs. Therefore good treatment is of vital importance to ensure you keep your mobility and live pain-free.
The elevated glucose levels associated with diabetes can impact your circulatory and nervous systems, manifesting in the feet as something called peripheral neuropathy. This is damage to your nerves which desensitises your feet to pain, hot and cold, therefore you won’t notice a cut. Healing is also affected due to poor circulation.
Maintaining good foot hygiene to avoid potential infections is really important. Wearing appropriate shoes is a big help in keeping your feet in good condition, and never attempt to treat own podiatry issues such as hard skin accumulation yourself.
If a cut is left unnoticed, it may lead to:
Ulcers
Infections
Foot amputation, if severe
Our qualified staff will perform the following assessments:
