Diabetic Foot Care
Diabetic Foot is a common and potentially serious complication of diabetes that can affect the skin, nerves, blood vessels, and bones of the feet. If not managed properly, it can lead to non-healing wounds, infections, gangrene, and even foot or leg amputation.
Many people with diabetes develop Peripheral Arterial Disease (vasculopathy) and Diabetic Neuropathy (nerve damage), which reduce blood flow and sensation in the feet. As a result, even minor cuts or injuries may go unnoticed and fail to heal, increasing the risk of serious complications.
Regular foot examinations, proper wound care, blood sugar control, and the use of customized diabetic footwear with foot pressure mapping can significantly reduce the risk of ulcers and amputation.
In patients with poor blood circulation, procedures such as angioplasty or bypass surgery may be required to restore blood flow, promote wound healing, and help prevent limb loss.
