Diabetic Foot review
Regular foot reviews are a vital part in living with diabetes as nerve and blood supply can be effected. Any changes that happen can increase risk of problems happening that you may not be aware of. So having regular reviews are important to detect any potential changes early.
What is involved
We complete a full assessment, checking for any lesions and problems, also checking:-
Vascular supply
Checking pulses, blood pressure and blood supply as this can be effected by diabetes. .
Nerve supply
Checking sensation in the feet is important to see if there are any changes, that may mean you can't feel increased pressure or rubbing.
Footwear assessment
Using the right shoes for the right job is key. Poor fitting shoes, can course corns and callus which can become problematic.
