Free Diabetic Foot Screening
Free foot screenings for people with diabetes are still available from certain podiatrists nationwide this week. Due to the demand, in our practice we will still offer them during next week too.
Protecting your feet from the complications of diabetes is a serious responsibility.
Managing your diabetes is the foundation of protection against complications that affect your eyes (Retinopathy), kidneys (Nephropathy) and feet (Neuropathy).
Feet can be severely damaged by diabetes and yet they are painless. This allows injuries to occur undetected and often leads to ulceration and amputation.
The purpose of the FREE FOOT SCREENING is to establish your risk level for developing foot complications, because many foot injuries can be prevented by being informed about the status of your feet.
Even people with severe loss of sensation can and do avoid problems by a combination of good blood sugar control and regular foot inspections by a podiatrist.
PLEASE DON”T BECOME A STATISTIC
