DIABETIC
FOOT CARE
Diabetics have unique concerns with their feet which put them at greater risk
for infection and ulceration, which when not monitored can lead to amputation.
It is recommended that all diabetics be familiar with a podiatrist
and visit every six months. For those with greater risk factors,
such as numb feet, poor circulation, a history of ulceration, or foot
deformities such as bunions, or hammer toes, visits should be no longer
than every two months.
If you are diabetic and feel that you are having a foot problem of any type,
contact us immediately, identify yourself as a diabetic and that you feel you
may have a problem for an immediate appointment. |
