Diabetes can significantly affect your sensation and circulation, affecting your ability to both feel and to heal wounds at the feet and legs, leaving you more vulnerable to infection. These effects progressively worsen over time, which is why it is recommended to complete a diabetic foot health assessment every year.
Your assessment will measure the status of your sensation and circulation with a number of tests. Using these results, we’ll discuss your current foot health status, your risks, and how to best protect and care for your feet to
minimise your risks.
