Diabetes and your feet
Around 1.8 million Australians are currently living with Diabetes. High blood sugar levels can affect many systems within our body, and can lead to foot problems due to changes to the nerves and reduced circulation.
Regular foot health checks are recommended and an important part of managing your diabetes. During these assessments, we will examine your bloody supply and nerve function, assess the condition of your skin and nails, watch you walk and check your footwear. We will collaborate with your GP and extended healthcare team to ensure your feet remain healthy in the presence of Diabetes.
Keep your feet healthy and safe in the presence of diabetes.
