Diabetic Feet
Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder in which the body is unable to produce or does not produce enough insulin for the body. Diabetes has the potential to affect many systems of the body. Living with diabetes means that it is important to pay close attention to your feet and legs.
Why You Should Visit A Podiatrist Regularly
Podiatry should be treated as a necessity rather than a luxury, especially if you have diabetic feet. Having regular check-ups means that you are taking preventative measures to reduce severe complications that often lead to amputation.
Our caring podiatrists will assess the level of risk to determine the frequency of your visits. Recommended visits of high-risk patients are usually every 3-6 months whereas low-risk patients are at least once a year.
