FAQs

Diabetic foot care is crucial because diabetes can cause severe complications in the feet, such as infections, ulcers, and neuropathy. Proper foot care helps prevent these issues, reducing the risk of amputations and improving the overall quality of life for diabetic patients.

It is recommended that diabetic patients have their feet examined by a podiatrist at least once a year. However, those with existing foot problems or complications may need more frequent visits.

You should see a podiatrist if you notice any changes in your feet, such as redness, swelling, cuts, blisters, sores, or changes in skin color or temperature. Additionally, any loss of sensation or persistent pain should be evaluated.
