Saltdean Podiatry Clinic provides all diabetic screening services accurately
Increased blood sugar from diabetes, could lead to various complications developing on the foot, from ulcers to even disruption of blood flow and nerve damage. Invoking further more serious conditions, if left unattended. Saltdean Podiatry Clinic is different from the other clinics as we provide comfortable and detailed foot screenings which promise early problem detection and long term positive health results.
Additionally, diabetic neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes and can cause symptoms such as numbness, tingling, burning sensations or reduced feeling in the feet. During a diabetic foot screening, we assess nerve sensation and foot health to identify early signs of nerve damage. Detecting neuropathy early is important, as reduced sensation can increase the risk of ulcers, infections and unnoticed injuries. Our assessments help monitor foot health and guide preventative care to reduce long-term complications.
Diabetic Screening: What Is Included
These screening services require the highest professionalism and completeness of the reporting:
- Assessment of Vascular Supply: Foot problems for diabetics may range from uncontrolled blood sugar diabetes to lightly infection-resistant toes. We perform a thorough vascular assessment of your feet that detects blockages and other issues related to circulation.
- Testing Nerve Function: Diabetic neuropathy manifests as lesions that damage nerves and can inflict numbness, pain, or tingling sensations. Our podiatrists use advanced approaches while examining the feet for any sensory deficits in the toes that can be dealt with in a more aggressive manner.
- Examination of the Foot’s Skin and Structural Composition: Foot skin can get affected with diabetes by leading to calluses, corns, and skin ulcerations. We evaluate your skin, nails and other essential components of the foot aesthetically to detect problems at their incipient stage.
Who Should Get Diabetic Screening?
Diabetes Screening is important to carry out within the following groups:
- People with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes
- If you have had foot infections or ulcers in the past, periodic examinations can help identify signs of recurrence that could lead to worsening conditions.
- Older patients and people with prolonged diabetes are more susceptible to having problems with their feet so proactive monitoring is important.
