Diabetic Foot Care Services

Diabetes can lead to a variety of foot problems that may cause significant pain and discomfort if not properly managed. One of the most common complications is poor circulation, which can damage the nerves in the feet and result in peripheral neuropathy.

Peripheral neuropathy often presents as a pins-and-needles sensation in the feet. Some people also experience burning, tingling, or numbness. These symptoms can make it difficult to feel pain, pressure, or minor injuries, increasing the risk of unnoticed wounds and serious infections.

Why Diabetic Foot Care Is Essential

When nerve damage reduces foot sensitivity, even small cuts, blisters, or scrapes may go unnoticed. Combined with reduced blood flow, which slows healing, these minor injuries can quickly become serious if left untreated.

That’s why daily foot care and regular professional check-ups are essential for people living with diabetes.

Diabetic Foot Prevention

Since nerves are often damaged due to diabetes, the issue of not feeling when a wound has developed can lead to serious complications. Minor cuts or scrapes on the foot may run the risk of getting infected if the feet are not checked daily for wounds.

Diabetes may also reduce blood flow to the feet, which in turn can make it harder for wounds to heal. So, it’s important you seek professional help for treating any foot ailments.

To prevent yourself from running the risk of developing a serious foot condition, it’s recommended that you

  • Wash and dry your feet thoroughly every day especially between the toes.
  • Inspect your feet carefully for cuts, redness, swelling, blisters or any changes. Even if you don’t feel pain, always check using a mirror to see the soles and hard to reach areas.
  • Moisturize your feet daily to prevent dry, cracked skin, but avoid applying cream between the toes.
  • Trim your toenails carefully and avoid cutting too close to the skin.
  • Wear well-fitting socks and shoes to prevent friction and pressure points.
  • Keep your feet warm and dry to prevent fungal and bacterial infections.
  • Clean between your toes.
  • Even if no pain is felt, the entire foot should be examined for redness and sores. Neuropathy can often mask the pain of sores and ulcers and cause these conditions to be overlooked. Use a mirror to examine the underside of your feet if needed. It is recommended that diabetics wear will-fitting socks.

Diabetic Foot Treatment

For individuals living with diabetes, regular blood sugar monitoring is essential to overall care. Maintaining your blood glucose within the target range as advised by your physician will greatly reduces the risk of serious foot complications.

  • In some cases, your doctor may recommend medications to help manage diabetic neuropathy, which can cause numbness, tingling or burning sensations in the feet. These symptoms can make it difficult to detect injuries or infections early.
  • It is especially important for diabetic patients to visit a podiatrist promptly if they notice any foot issues, such as ingrown toenails, sores, or skin changes. Even minor foot conditions can quickly develop into serious infections if left untreated.
