DIABETIC FOOT ASSESSMENT

Diabetic Foot Assessment

One of the signature symptoms of diabetes is its effect on your circulatory system, interfering with circulation and nerve damage, especially in the hands and feet. Luckily, with the correct treatment and effective management, foot problems caused by diabetes, in most cases, can be controlled. So, if you are experiencing discomfort due to diabetic foot problems, why not check in for a diabetic foot assessment?


Diabetes is one of the most prominent lifestyle diseases of our time and is prevalent across the globe, especially in older people. The condition can seriously affect your feet, causing pain and discomfort. As our feet are key to our mobility, taking strain even under normal circumstances, should you have diabetes, you should ideally pay regular visits to a diabetic foot podiatrist to help you ensure your feet remain healthy and pain-free.

Here are some signs it may be time to schedule an appointment with your local diabetic foot care professional:

  • Discomfort: Diabetes can cause numerous symptoms, including numbness, tingling, a burning sensation in the feet, and swelling. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, a visit to your podiatrist should definitely be on your to-do list.
  • Injury: Decreased circulation and nerve damage can result in severe injury to the feet. If you have a blister, cut, or any other foot injury that’s not healing, you should call your podiatrist immediately. The same goes for any injury that feels warm to the touch, has redness developing around the site, or has a callus with dried blood inside.
  • Gangrene: Circulation helps our bodies heal injuries. If your circulation is cut off or impaired, this can have dire consequences for injuries. If you have an injury that is turning black or emitting a foul smell, it is imperative that you visit your podiatrist for the appropriate diabetic foot treatment.
