Diabetes? No Problem.
Anyone with diabetes knows that a lot of medical care attention is focused on the feet. This is because the feet are so vulnerable to infection due to the killer duo of hampered circulation and a reduced blood supply. Since nerve damage often causes diminished feeling in the feet, a person with diabetes also can’t rely on pain to signal when something is wrong. Still, the good news is that foot problems are NOT inevitable. A podiatrist can help set up a simple daily foot regiment that will both care for your feet and put in place an early warning system for detecting the smallest changes that could lead to serious trouble.
Self care may not be the best option for diabetics when it comes to their health, unless directed by a podiatrist. We see the results of what happens when foot probelms are left untreated or are only self treated. The goal of foot care for diabetics is to stop infection before it starts! We are here to help with your diabetic foot care needs.
