Why Is Diabetic Foot Care Important?
Diabetes can affect both the nerves and blood vessels in the feet, increasing the risk of injury, infection, and delayed healing.
Loss of sensation (neuropathy) may prevent patients from feeling cuts or pressure points, while reduced circulation can slow healing. Without proper care, small problems can quickly develop into serious complications such as ulcers or infections.
Regular foot evaluations can detect problems early and significantly reduce the risk of serious complications.
Care may include routine foot exams, callus and nail care, wound prevention, offloading, and management of high-risk conditions.
