Diabetic Foot Assessments and Treatment

Assessment

Diabetes can affect nerve supply to the feet, leading to complications. It is important that everyone diagnosed with diabetes has an annual diabetic foot check. This involves your diabetic nurse or a Podiatrist checking your nerve and blood supply to your foot. As Podiatrists, we also look at areas on your feet which may lead to potential problems, and we identify ways to prevent them. We feel prevention is better than cure!

Treatment

At West Berkshire Foot Clinic, we will fully assess your blood and nerve supply and give your feet a risk status. We give advice – in verbal and written form – on the cause and prevention of any problems, and the treatment of any issues. We can share information with your GP/Diabetologist, if you require and consent to this. We will also treat any foot problems you are currently having.

If you are diabetic and have a foot problem/pain or wound we can treat this too. Just let us know when you book the appointment so we can ensure we see you in one of our emergency slots.

Our Podiatrist has several years’ experience working in the diabetes team in Oxford. So you can rest assured you are in great hands with us!

What People are saying:

“I have been seeing Louise for a number of years. I have type 2 diabetes and have to be careful with my feet. Louise is very caring and has given me very good advice on how to care for feet. She removes hard skin from my feet and cuts my toe nails. I would recommend her to anyone.”
