Do you have diabetes? This is why you should get your feet checked by a podiatrist…
People with diabetes are more likely to develop the following foot-related conditions:
Neuropathy is the loss of feeling in your feet which can result in injuries occurring which you do not feel and hence can cause ulceration
Vascular complications like Medial Calcification of the arteries can lead to reduced blood flow and poor healing
Charcot neuroarthropathy is a condition that can lead to bone destruction and a rocker bottom shaped foot
Ulceration is a break in the skin which can result in osteomyelitis which is an infection of the bone, which left untreated may result in amputation
Please see your podiatrist ensure you are having regular diabetes foot assessments, checking if your footwear is appropriate, and gaining advice on daily foot checks, etc.
