Diabetes Assessment

• Feet are commonly one of the first areas of the body affected by diabetes.
• Diabetes can affect the feet through impacting your vascular (circulation) system, neurological (sensation) system, as well as changes to the foot shape and posture.
• Uncontrolled Blood Glucose Levels (BGLs) can delay wound healing and increase the risk of infection.
• Our Podiatrists are trained in assessing the neurological and vascular status of your feet, and will refer back on these findings every 3-12 months to monitor any future changes.
• Our Podiatrists will provide education and guide you on the on the best care for your individual needs, and monitor as required.
• We work closely with your General Practitioner (GP) in regards to your diabetes management.
• Our Podiatrist will also recommend appropriate footwear based on the findings of their assessments.
