Foot care is particularly important if you have
diabetes.
Foot problems are a common complication
of this condition.
Your feet can be affected in two ways.
Blood supply may be affected,
resulting in slower healing.
You may also lose some feeling in your feet
due to nerve damage.
A person whose nerves are damaged by diabetes
may not realize they have minor cuts or blisters,
which can lead to ulcers.
Foot problems can be avoided if
you take care of your feet and
act quickly when you have a problem.
Get your feet checked at least
once a year by a doctor or podiatrist
to detect problems early
and help prevent complications.
At Ultra Care, we provide
highly trained health professionals
who deal with the prevention,
diagnosis and management
of foot problems.
