Diabetes often leads to foot-related complications, which if not managed properly, can result in serious health issues. Our clinics across Orlando—including Fairview Shores, Pine Hills, and Winter Park—specialize in the prevention and treatment of diabetic foot problems. We focus on comprehensive care, from routine check-ups to advanced treatments, ensuring your feet stay healthy.

Understanding Diabetic Foot Care

The Importance of Managing Diabetic Foot Health
Diabetic neuropathy, a common complication of diabetes, can cause a range of symptoms from tingling sensations to a complete loss of feeling in the feet. This numbness increases the risk of unnoticed injuries, potentially leading to severe infections or sores. Regular diabetic foot care is crucial to detect and address these issues early, enhancing your mobility and quality of life.

Daily Foot Care Tips

Daily Practices for Healthy Diabetic Feet
Maintaining your foot health involves more than regular check-ups; daily care is essential. Ensure your blood sugar levels are well-managed and inspect your feet each day for any signs of trauma or infection. Use lukewarm water for washing and dry your feet thoroughly, especially between the toes, to prevent fungal infections. Moisturize regularly but avoid the areas between your toes to reduce the risk of moisture-related complications. Always trim your toenails straight across to avoid ingrown toenails, and consider diabetic-specific socks for extra protection.

Recognizing and Responding to Complications

Identify and Act on Foot Complications Early
Be vigilant for any persistent sores, cuts, or changes in the color or temperature of your feet. Redness, swelling, or any drainage are signs that require immediate professional attention. If you notice any unusual symptoms, such as a callus with dried blood or foot discoloration with odor, contact our specialists right away. Early intervention can prevent the progression of infections and other complications.
