Specialist Treatment For Diabetic Foot Issues
If you are living with diabetes, taking care of your feet is essential. Diabetes can affect both sensation and circulation, which increases the risk of developing serious foot problems.
Nerve damage (neuropathy) may reduce feeling in your feet, meaning you might not notice cuts, blisters, or pressure points. At the same time, reduced blood flow can slow healing, making even small issues more serious if left untreated.
At Glen Foley Podiatry, we provide a dedicated diabetic foot service focused on prevention, early detection and effective treatment. Our aim is to protect your feet and prevent complications before they develop.
How Diabetes Affects Your Feet
Diabetes can change how your feet feel, function and heal. Some of the most common effects include:
- Loss of sensation in the feet, also known as neuropathy
- Reduced blood supply and slower healing
- Increased risk of infection
- Higher chance of ulcers and skin breakdown
Because of these changes, a minor problem can quickly become serious. This is why regular podiatry care plays a key role in preventing long-term foot disease.
