FAQs
Diabetic foot care involves treating and managing foot-related issues due to diabetes. It is a comprehensive approach to prevent, diagnose and treat complications that arise from diabetes, such as infections, ulcers, and nerve damage.
Our team of podiatrists and orthopaedic doctors work together to provide a tailored treatment for you, focusing on maintaining foot health, preventing complications and personalised treatments to lower the risk of severe outcomes like amputations.
Diabetes can lead to several issues affecting your feet. The two main problems are:
- Nerve Damage (Neuropathy): Diabetes can cause damage to the nerves in your feet, leading to numbness, tingling, or pain. This reduces your ability to feel injuries or infections, making it harder to notice problems early.
- Poor Circulation: High blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels, reducing blood flow to your feet. Poor circulation can lead to slower healing of wounds and increase the risk of infections.
Together, these issues can make your feet more vulnerable to injuries, infections, and ulcers, which may lead to more serious complications, such as amputations, if not managed properly.
Podiatrists and orthopaedic doctors specialise in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the feet, ankles, and lower limbs.
- Podiatrists focus on preventing, diagnosing, and treating foot disorders, managing diabetic foot complications, such as ulcers and infections.
- Orthopaedic Doctors take care of problems with bones, muscles, and joints. Orthopaedic surgeons can perform operations to improve foot function if someone with diabetes leads to serious issues like badly damaged bones or severe joint problems.
You can receive the appropriate care to help manage and prevent further complications by consulting these specialists.
You should see a doctor if you experience any of the following symptoms or issues:
- Unusual pain or numbness
- Infections
- Swelling
- Foot injuries such as cuts, blisters, or sores that do not heal properly.
- Changes in skin colour, or abnormal warmth or coolness in your feet.
Prompt medical attention can prevent minor issues from escalating into serious complications.
Our procedures for diabetic foot care typically involve:
- Initial Assessment and Diagnosis: A thorough evaluation of your foot health, which includes a physical examination, a review of your medical history, and a diagnosis to identify any issues or complications you might be experiencing.
- Tailored Treatment Plan: Based on the diagnosis, we create a personalised treatment plan that may include medication, wound care, foot hygiene instructions, and, if needed, medical procedures.
- Ongoing Monitoring: Regular follow-up visits to monitor your condition, adjust treatments as needed, and ensure effective foot health management.
- Collaborative Care: Our team of podiatrists and orthopaedic doctors work together to provide comprehensive care and address any related issues, ensuring a cohesive approach to your treatment.
Our goal is to provide you with a one-stop solution for all your diabetic foot care needs, ensuring optimal outcomes and quality of life.
