Diabetic Foot Care
Diabetes can affect the nerves, blood circulation, and ability to notice injuries in the feet. Small cuts, blisters, or pressure areas may sometimes become more serious when they are not identified early. The Diabetic Foot Care Package focuses on regular foot assessment, early detection of concerns, and practical guidance for maintaining healthy feet.
Who May Benefit?
This package can be useful for people living with diabetes, particularly those experiencing numbness, tingling, dry or cracked skin, recurring foot problems, or changes in the appearance of their feet. Regular diabetic foot screening can help identify potential concerns that may require medical attention.
What Does the Assessment Include?
The evaluation may include examination of the skin, nails, foot structure, sensation, circulation, and areas exposed to pressure or friction. Depending on individual findings, additional tests or specialist evaluation may be recommended. Patients can also receive guidance on appropriate diabetic foot care, footwear, hygiene, and daily foot checks.
Benefits of Diabetic Foot Care
Regular assessment supports early recognition of skin problems, reduced sensation, pressure points, or other foot-related concerns. It also helps patients understand how diabetes can affect foot health and what steps they can take as part of their everyday care.
Daily Care & Follow-Up
People with diabetes are encouraged to inspect their feet regularly, keep the skin clean and moisturized, wear properly fitting footwear, and avoid walking barefoot. Any wound, swelling, redness, discharge, or unexplained change should be evaluated promptly by a healthcare professional.
