Diabetes and the foot
Foot care amongst people with diabetes is incredibly important. Diabetes can affect the nerves and the circulation in the feet and lower limbs. Any cuts,grazes, corns, verrucae or other lesions can represent a serious risk: they may heal extremely slowly and need rigorous treatment to cure. The site may easily become infected, Foot ulcers affect as many as 1 out of every 10 diabetes sufferers, during the entirety of their condition. You should see an HPC Registered Cannock Chiropodist/ Podiatrist promptly with any problems and yearly for diabetic foot screening. I am currently producing my last paper towards postgraduate study - Warwick University Medical School - Certificate in Diabetes Care.
