FAQ's

Why is diabetic foot care important?

Diabetic foot care is important because individuals with diabetes are at higher risk of foot-related issues, such as reduced circulation and nerve damage. Without proper care, minor foot problems can develop into more serious complications.

Regular foot assessments can help detect potential problems early, reducing the likelihood of infections and other issues that may affect mobility.
What does diabetic foot care involve?

Diabetic foot care typically involves regular foot assessments, checking for skin changes, wounds, and signs of reduced circulation. It may also include providing advice on footwear, hygiene, and preventative measures to help manage foot health.

Treatment plans may be recommended if issues such as calluses or pressure areas are identified during the assessment. Early detection and appropriate care can help maintain overall foot health.
How often should someone with diabetes see a podiatrist?

The frequency of podiatry visits depends on individual needs and risk levels. In general, individuals with diabetes should have their feet checked at least once a year. Those at higher risk may require more frequent visits to monitor foot health and address any developing concerns promptly.

A healthcare provider can help determine the most appropriate visit schedule based on specific needs.
What are common foot issues in people with diabetes?

Common foot issues in people with diabetes include dry skin, calluses, reduced circulation, nerve damage, and slow-healing wounds. These issues can increase the risk of infections and ulcers if left untreated.

Regular diabetic foot care can assist in managing these concerns and may reduce the likelihood of serious complications such as infections or long-term damage.
