Have you been told to see a podiatrist for your diabetes & thought why? Chronic illnesses such as diabetes, arthritis and neuropathy affect the feet and lower limbs. For diabetes, this can result in approximately 3000 amputations a year.
Prevention can be provided by a multi-disciplinary team approach of podiatrists, endocrinologists, diabetes educators, nurses, GPs and dieticians. Podiatrists, such as Foot Steps Griffith, play an important role in the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of people with diabetes and other chronic illnesses.
Regular foot checks are essential to test foot mobility, sensitivity and injury plus provide foot care education and treatment of ulcers, infections and related problems.
Depending on your risk level a diabetes assessment every 6 or 12 months is crucial. Call us for a diabetes assessment today on 69621388.
