Diabetes foot care and podiatry services

It is estimated that about of quarter of patients may already have significant neuropathy at the time of detection of diabetes and about 15% of diabetic patients can have significantly reduced blood supply to the lower limbs at any point of time.

Both these factors can tremendously increase the risk of lower limb amputation. Epidemiological studies estimate that 30 limbs are amputated every 60 minutes due to diabetes complications. In this background it is imperative up on every clinician managing diabetes mellitus to offer specialized foot care service to their patients. Towards this cause we offer a focused and systematic approach to reduce the risk of foot ulceration and amputation.

The scope of our service ranges from detailed foot examination at first visit, risk stratification based on examination and other essential tests, comprehensive education on foot care and regular foot examination, offering custom-made footwear to at risk patients and availing the service of an experienced podiatrist if a need arises.
