Frequently Asked Questions

Find Out More

Why is diabetic foot care important?

Diabetes can affect circulation and nerve function, increasing the risk of foot-related complications like ulcers, infections, and delayed wound healing. Regular foot care helps detect issues early, preventing serious complications. Podiatrists provide assessments, treatment, and advice to help maintain foot health and support long-term mobility and overall well-being.
How often should someone with diabetes see a podiatrist?

It is generally recommended to see a podiatrist at least once a year for a diabetic foot assessment. However, if you have a history of foot ulcers, infections, or other concerns, more frequent visits may be necessary to monitor foot health and address any issues before they escalate.
What should I look out for when checking my feet at home?

When performing regular foot checks at home, look for cuts, blisters, swelling, redness, or changes in skin texture. Pay attention to any signs of infection or areas of pain. If you notice wounds that don’t heal or changes in sensation, contact a podiatrist promptly for a professional evaluation.
How can I prevent diabetic foot complications?

To prevent complications, keep your feet clean and moisturised, avoid walking barefoot, and wear properly fitted shoes. Regularly inspect your feet for any signs of irritation or injury. Routine podiatry visits for assessments and nail care can help manage foot health and provide advice tailored to your individual needs.
