Diabetic Foot Care
What is Diabetic Foot Care?
Diabetic Foot Care involves specialized attention and treatment to prevent and manage foot problems commonly associated with diabetes. Diabetes can cause nerve damage (neuropathy) and reduced blood flow to the feet, making it harder to heal from injuries and increasing the risk of infections and ulcers. Proper diabetic foot care is crucial to avoid serious complications, including the risk of amputation.
