diabetic foot screening

Diabetic foot screening is a routine check to prevent serious foot problems in people with diabetes. It involves examining the feet for signs of nerve damage (which can cause numbness) and poor blood flow, as well as looking for ulcers, blisters, or skin infections. The goal is to identify issues early before they worsen, reducing the risk of ulcers or amputations. Regular screening helps healthcare providers recommend proper foot care, footwear, and treatments, ensuring that feet stay healthy and complications are minimized.
