Diabetes Related Foot Care - Why It’s Important:

Diabetes can reduce feeling and blood flow in the feet, increasing the risk of:

• Injuries going unnoticed

• Slow healing

• Infections

Regular podiatry care helps:

• Prevent wounds and infections

• Detect problems early

• Keep your feet healthy and safe

Wounds & Infections:

• Minor diabetes related foot wounds can be booked with podiatry for assessment and basic treatment/dressings

• Signs of infection (redness spreading, pus, pain, feeling unwell) require urgent medical care at a hospital high-risk foot clinic or Emergency Department

Charcot Foot:

What we can help with:

• Routine nail care

• Routine skin care

• General foot checks

What to Bring to Your Appointment:

• Your everyday footwear

• Regularly worn joggers or enclosed shoes for assessment
