A Diabetes Footcare Assessment should be conducted at least annually for those diagnosed with Diabetes. A Podiatrist service is available for those with more complex needs.
Diabetes Footcare AssessmentsThe risk of developing problems with your feet increases with the time you have been diagnosed with Diabetes and with age.
How the foot is affected by Diabetes:
- May be loss of feeling
- May be loss of circulation
- Infection
To ensure you have healthy feet when you live with Diabetes, it is recommended you check your feet daily and visit your Podiatrist or foot assessment nurse at least every 12 months for a comprehensive foot assessment.
Early recognition and management of risk factors can prevent or delay the adverse outcomes.
