Diabetes can have a significant impact on your foot health, making proactive care essential. High blood sugar levels can lead to reduced circulation and nerve damage, increasing the risk of ulcers, infections, and even more severe complications. Without proper care, minor issues like cuts, blisters, or calluses can escalate into serious health concerns.
At Kentuckiana Foot and Ankle, we specialize in diabetic foot care to help you stay ahead of these risks. Our approach focuses on prevention, early intervention, and personalized treatment to keep your feet healthy.
Some of the treatment and preventive options we offer include:
With a focus on compassionate, expert care, our team is here to help you maintain mobility and protect your overall health.
Look out for symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in the feet, cuts or sores that heal slowly, swelling, redness, or warmth in the area, changes in skin color, and unusual pain. These can indicate diabetic foot complications and should be checked by a healthcare professional promptly.
Routinely seeing a diabetic podiatrist is important because they can help prevent serious foot complications caused by diabetes. Diabetes can lead to poor circulation, nerve damage, and reduced healing, increasing the risk of infections, ulcers, and even amputations. A podiatrist can monitor your foot health, treat any issues early, and provide guidance on proper care to keep your feet healthy.
Diabetes can affect the feet due to poor blood circulation and nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy), which are common complications of the condition. Reduced blood flow makes it harder for wounds to heal, while nerve damage can cause loss of sensation, making it difficult to detect injuries. These issues increase the risk of infections, ulcers, and other foot problems. Regular foot care is essential for individuals with diabetes.
