Diabetes Footcare Assessments

The 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.
