Treatment & Prevention for Diabetic Foot
The need to monitor and manage diabetic foot is greater due to the ever growing diabetic population. At our Battle based clinic we regularly monitor and assess the circulation, sensation and feet for any deterioration. As well as maintaining healthy feet to prevent any serious complaints occurring.
How does a Podiatrist help people with diabetes and diabetic foot?
A Podiatrist is an important part of your diabetes health care team. Podiatrists are specifically trained to assess the nerve damage in your feet, identify your specific foot health risks and help you come up with a treatment and prevention plan.
Podiatry foot care for people with diabetes is one of the most overlooked aspects of diabetes management.
Many people with diabetes are entirely unaware that they need to take special care of their feet and visit a podiatrist as soon as the problems arise to prevent diabetic foot.
Higher levels of blood glucose can damage the nerve endings in many areas of the body and organs, which is why tight blood glucose control is an essential aspect of diabetes care.
Why Podiatry is so essential to people with diabetes
- Diabetes causes nerve damage known as peripheral neuropathy
- Diabetes affects the circulation, and poor circulation can affect how the body heals
- People with diabetes are more prone to infection
- Diabetes complications can also affect the feet commonly known as diabetic foot
- Diabetes can affect the joints and make them stiffer
What happens with poor Podiatry?
A variety of foot problems can arise when poor foot care fails to catch issues at an early stage. These may include:
- Damage to the foot
- Foot ulcers
- Foot infections
- Charcot’s joints
- Amputation
