Understanding Diabetic and General Foot Checks
Diabetes, old age and various chronic health conditions – cardiovascular disease can significantly impact foot health, making specialised care essential. Poor circulation, nerve damage, pressure management, and a reduced ability to fight infections are common issues faced by individuals with diabetes.
