One Step Ahead of Diabetic Foot Complications
Diabetic Foot Care Nurse
Living with diabetes means understanding the importance of proactive foot care. Diabetes can wreak havoc on foot nerves and blood flow, making foot issues not only more likely, but also harder to detect. In addition to this, compromised healing leaves you vulnerable to ulcers, serious infections, and if serious enough, amputations.
Healthcare providers commonly advise those with diabetes to maintain ongoing foot care. This proactive approach not only reduces the risk of complications but also preserves foot comfort, safeguarding both your mobility and overall well-being. If you have any questions about your foot care or would like assistance, please don't hesitate to give us a call.

“Three out of four people develop serious foot problems as they age – putting their independence and well-being at risk”
“Keeping an eye on your feet can even give you an early warning about serious health problems such as diabetes, arthritis, nerve damage and poor blood circulation.”
“Feet that are healthy and pain free help you keep your balance. Good balance can prevent falls, a major cause of injury and hospitalization; some falls result in disability or death.”
“Healthy feet also allow you to stay active. When your feet are too sore to walk, you loose strength and become at greater risk for falls.”
