 DIABETIC FOOT CARE FOR HEALTHY FEET IN KITCHENER 

Diabetes commonly results in foot problems. People with diabetes often suffer nerve damage, also known as diabetic neuropathy, leading to various symptoms, including tingling, pain, and loss of feeling in the feet. It can be a major problem if you can no longer sense a wound on your foot and may result in sores or infections. Podiatric Consultants can help you with diabetic foot care in Kitchener. 

​

If a diabetic foot wound is present, our podiatrists are very qualified in treating it to make sure that the injury does not worsen and to heal the wound toward normal functioning once again.

MAINTAINING HEALTHY FEET IN CASE OF DIABETES 

It all starts with managing your blood glucose levels (blood sugar), as diabetes is the most common reason for foot problems. Here is how you can prevent serious foot problems:

It is essential to check your feet daily for cuts, sores, blisters, plantar warts, ingrown toenails, or other foot conditions.
If you notice a corn or callus, don't try to treat it yourself; seek the help of a podiatrist immediately.
Wear shoes at all times for skin protection and joint support.
Avoid smoking and caffeine as these reduce the blood flow to your feet and delay healing.
If a cut, blister, or bruise is not healing even after a few days, it is a severe case and requires immediate professional help.
Watch out for warning signs that include redness, swelling, a callus consisting of dry blood, or an infection that results in foot discolouration and has an odour.
