Diabetes Changes How We Care For Your Feet.
Diabetes can affect circulation, sensation, and healing, making regular professional foot care an important part of maintaining your foot health.
When Small Foot Problems Become Bigger
Concerns
A blister, cut, cracked heel, or irritated area may seem minor. But diabetes can affect sensation and circulation in your feet, making injuries harder to notice and slowing the healing process.
Without regular attention, these small concerns can go unnoticed and develop into more serious complications.
That's why diabetic foot care goes beyond nail and skin maintenance. Regular foot checks, early attention to changes, and appropriate professional care all play an important role in protecting your foot health.

-
Maintain healthy skin and toenails.
-
Manage corns, calluses, and areas of pressure.

-
Provide personalized guidance for caring for your feet between visits.

Our goal is simple: to help you feel comfortable, informed, and confident about your foot health.
Caring for Your Feet Between Visits
Checking your feet daily is an important part of managing your foot health when living with diabetes.
Pay attention to:
-
Cuts, blisters, sores, or wounds.
-
Redness, swelling, or unusual warmth.
-
Dry, cracked skin or changes in your toenails.
-
Corns, calluses, or areas of pressure.
-
Numbness, tingling, or changes in sensation.

Changes in the colour or temperature of your feet.
If you have difficulty seeing the bottoms of your feet, use a mirror or ask someone you trust to help.
