Importance of diabetic foot care

Foot care amongst diabetics is incredibly important, due to the fact that even small ulcers on the foot can represent a serious risk: they may heal extremely slowly and need rigorous treatment to cure. Ulcers can develop into serious lower body infections.

Due to diabetics your nervous system is even slightly damaged, the extremities of the body can become numb. For this reason, you may not be able to feel foot problems until they have developed. So It is key to ensure you have regular foot examinations.

Your therapist will keep accurate records of your feet thus being able to detect problems that arise. As well as will do test to monitor the following:

·         Testing the feeling in your feet

·         Testing for hot and cold sensations

·         Testing for blood circulation
