National Diabetes Awareness Week begins today.
Diabetes can place your feet at a higher risk of infection, trauma or structural changes.
If you are aware that you have a family history of diabetes or have had gestational diabetes it is very important that you have your regular check ups with your GP.
Some simple steps to reduce your overall risk is to monitor your feet closely, include a daily foot inspection in your routine and complete an annual Diabetic Foot Exam (often Medicare funded) with your podiatrist.
To book your next Annual Diabetic Foot Examination call our friendly team at The Brighton Foot Clinic 03 8586 9949 or book online at www.brightonfootclinic.com.au.
