Diabetic Footcare
Diabetes can cause several foot complications therefore it is important to ensure your feet are checked regularly, and you have regular checks from your Podiatrist
Sensation testing
A 10g monofilament is used to check sensation. This is a simple tool used to test the feeling in your feet on specific areas on your feet.
Testing blood flow
Diabetes can lead to a reduced blood flow to your feet. This is tested using a Doppler so we can listen to your circulation. It is important to check blood flow as a reduced circulation may lead to a delay in healing if you have any cuts on your feet, which could lead to an increased risk of infection.
