Diabetic Foot Care
Specialised care to protect your feet, prevent complications, and maintain mobility for diabetic patients.
What Is Diabetic Foot Care?
Diabetic foot care is a specialised approach to prevent and manage foot complications associated with diabetes. High blood sugar can damage nerves (neuropathy) and reduce blood circulation, making the feet more vulnerable to:
- Ulcers and open wounds
- Infections
- Structural deformities
- Amputations if left untreated
Proper foot care is crucial for early detection, prevention of complications, and maintaining long term mobility.
Common Foot Problems in Diabetic Patients
Reduced sensation increases the risk of unnoticed injuries.
Slows wound healing and increases infection risk.
Open sores that can become infected.
Fungal, bacterial, or skin infections.
Pressure points can lead to ulcers.
Thickened, brittle, or fungal nails can easily lead to an ingrown nail and potential ulcer if left untreated.
Foot deformities such as hammer toes or Charcot foot.
