@Familypodiatry discusses the problems that can occur in your feet if you have diabetes. There is a simple walking test using the EMED scanner that can help to prevent amputation.
People with diabetes should be concerned about their feet because diabetes can cause nerve damage (neuropathy) and poor blood flow (vascular disease) to the feet. These conditions can make it difficult to feel and respond to injuries, such as small cuts or blisters, which can lead to foot ulcers or infections. In addition, poor circulation can make it difficult for wounds to heal properly, increasing the risk of amputation.
Therefore, it is essential for people with diabetes to take good care of their feet. People with diabetes should visit a podiatrist annually to have their feet assessed for neuropathy and high pressure areas.
By taking these measures, people with diabetes can help prevent serious foot complications and maintain their overall health and well-being.
