Diabetes can affect circulation, nerve sensation and skin health in the feet, increasing the risk of foot problems over time. Changes in sensation or delayed healing can mean small issues can progress unnoticed.
At Total Care Clinic, our podiatrists provide comprehensive diabetic foot care, focused on early detection, prevention and ongoing management to help protect foot health and reduce the risk of complications.
Diabetic foot care is suitable for anyone living with diabetes, whether recently diagnosed or long-term. Regular podiatry assessment is particularly important if you experience reduced sensation, changes in circulation, foot deformities or difficulty managing nail and skin care.
Your appointment includes a detailed diabetic foot assessment, also known as a diabetic foot examination or diabetic foot check. This may involve reviewing circulation, sensation, skin condition, nail health and foot structure. Identifying potential risks early allows them to be managed appropriately.
Podiatry care aims to support safe foot care, reduce pressure points and provide guidance on daily foot health and footwear.
Diabetic foot care is tailored to your individual risk level and foot health needs. Podiatry care may include routine nail and skin care, management of calluses, footwear assessment and advice on daily foot checks.
Where necessary, your podiatrist may recommend pressure offloading, orthotic support or more frequent monitoring. Education plays a key role in helping you understand how to care for your feet safely at home.
Preventive care is central to diabetic foot management. Regular diabetic foot checks help identify early changes before they develop into more serious problems.
Your podiatrist will work with you to create a clear and manageable foot care plan that supports long-term foot health, mobility and confidence with everyday activities.
