Diabetes is becoming more and more prevalent in the Uk and in the West, due to lifestyle, diet, lack of exercise, and family history. We are also becoming more advanced in picking up and diagnosing patients at an early stage. The NHS is keen to screen and prevent problems for the diabetic foot, and most GPs have diabetic clinics where patients are monitored on a yearly basis.
There are secondary complications for diabetics for example heart disease, kidney and eye
problems, and foot ulcers which undetected can lead to lower limb amputations.
This is why it is imperative that they are seen regularly by a qualified chiropodist so that they can be asseseed and any poetential problems can be identified quickly and treated.
