Diabetes can cause problems in the feet affecting circulation and sensation. This greatly increases the risk of developing problems such as infections and ulcers.
Katherine has recently attended a seminar on diabetic foot health concentrating on reducing ulcers in the diabetic foot.
Many diabetics just need regular foot health checks which would mean any lesions would be detected early therefore reducing the risk of a serious problem.
Educating the diabetic patient on how to care for their feet would provide the most effective measure in improving diabetic foot health. Katherine would be able to give you all the information you need to be aware of the affect of diabetes on your feet and how to deal with it. |
