Protect Yourself From Diabetes Induced Foot Problems with a Diabetic Foot Care Consultation
Diabetes is a serious disease that can develop from lack of insulin production in the body, or from the inability of the body’s insulin to perform its normal everyday functions.
At Podiatry First, we offer diabetes podiatry services to ensure that you receive the expert care you need to stay healthy. If you experience any of the signs below, schedule a consultation with us today.
Why is diabetic foot care essential?
Many complications can be associated with diabetes. Diabetes disrupts the vascular system, affecting many areas of the body such as the eyes, kidneys, legs, and the feet. People with diabetes should pay special attention to their feet as diabetes affects the feet significantly.
People with diabetes can develop neuropathic and vascular ulcers in the feet if the feet are neglected. The worst case scenario leads to amputations of the feet and toes and long term hospitalisation. These ulcers are preventable with proper regular foot checks and the correct treatment.
Medicare rebates apply to Diabetic foot care consultations. Please consult your GP to see if you are eligible.
Recognising the warning signs: do you need diabetic foot care?
Early detection of foot problems significantly increases the effectiveness of treatment and prevents complications. If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, it may be time to visit a diabetes podiatry specialist:
- Persistent pain in your feet
- Numbness or tingling sensations, especially in the toes
- Swelling, redness, or warmth in any area of the foot
- Slow-healing sores or ulcers on the feet
- Changes in foot shape or skin colour
These signs indicate the need for a comprehensive diabetic foot care consultation to prevent serious complications, such as infections and even amputations.
