Diabetic Foot Care
Regular exams and careful nail and skin care that protect your feet and catch small problems early.
What it is
Diabetes can reduce feeling and blood flow in the feet, so a small problem can become a serious one quickly and quietly. Regular podiatric care is one of the best ways to protect your feet: checking them, keeping nails and calluses under control, and treating any wound before it has a chance to grow.

Frequently asked questions
- How often should I have my feet checked?
- Most people with diabetes benefit from a foot check at least once a year, and more often if you have had sores or numbness. We will recommend a schedule.
- Why is a small cut a big deal?
- Reduced feeling and blood flow mean a minor cut can go unnoticed and become infected. Early care prevents serious complications.
- Can you trim my nails safely?
- Yes. Professional nail and callus care is one of the safest, simplest ways to protect diabetic feet.
