Diabetic Feet – We Can Help
Diabetic Feet & Conditions
Diabetes is a serious medical condition and your feet can be at risk.
Diabetes is a progressive medical condition. This means that while things may be okay now, if blood sugar levels are poorly managed, the condition of your feet may worsen to the point where you may need an amputation.
In Australia, there are more than 4,000 Diabetes-related lower limb amputations annually. Diabetes can cause damage to your nerves and blood supply in your feet. Without blood flow, the feet and toes can’t survive and without healthy nerve function, we can’t tell if we have any danger spots under the feet.
