Diabetes is a disease that occurs when the glucose levels in the blood are too high. The two main types, Type 1 and Type 2, are different conditions and both should be taken seriously.  Patients with Diabetes are at a much higher risk of developing foot related health issues.
​
Without regular foot health checks, patients can develop infections and ulcerations which if left untreated, can lead to amputations.
​
Regular routine appointments or toe nail cut appointments can reduce the risk of developing diabetes related foot conditions.   
​
It is important that diabetic patients also attend their regular 6/12 month NHS Diabetic checks in addition to regular foot care appointments with a qualified practitioner.  During a treatment any neurological or vascular abnormalities can be identified to help you manage your condition.
