About THe TreatmenT
How does diabetes cause problems in your feet?
High blood glucose and high blood fats can lead to circulation problems, like blockage of arteries. The smallest arteries in the body are found in the eyes, kidneys and feet. Consequently, these are usually the first affected. A decrease in blood supply will result in slower healing of cuts, abrasions and other injuries. This can lead to an increased risk of infection and possibly gangrene.

Diabetes Information
Poorly managed diabetes can lead to nerve damage. This means decreased sensation in the feet, which causes a reduction in your ability to detect injuries. Without feeling in your feet, it is easy for cuts, abrasions and fractures to go unnoticed. If these injuries are left for an extended period, treatment can be very difficult or impossible. Sometimes, this may result in amputation.
Greta South diabetes patients can get a full podiatric diabetes assessment at Benalla. This assessment is non-invasive and monitors blood flow and sensation in your feet. A full report is sent to your doctor and other relevant health professionals with assessment results.
