Diabetes can significantly impact your ability to feel what is happening to and around your feet, as well as the blood flow to your feet. Podiatrists perform annual diabetic foot health checks that assess the status of the sensation and circulation to your feet. From here, they will discuss with you the risks you face, management strategies to reduce these risks, how to prevent complications from developing and generally how to maintain your foot health. 

 

Your Podiatrist can also help by managing skin and nail conditions, helping you make the best footwear selections for your feet, managing any wounds that develop, helping you with muscular pains and aches, and more.
