Diabetic Foot Care

Living with diabetes? Proper foot care is essential to prevent serious complications. Diabetes can lead to nerve damage, poor circulation, and slow wound healing, increasing the risk of infections and foot ulcers. At Fulshear Foot & Ankle, Dr. Kunal Amin and Dr. Yumna Siddiqui specialize in preventative care and advanced treatment to help protect your feet and maintain mobility.

What Is Diabetic Foot Care?

Diabetic foot care focuses on preventing and managing foot-related complications caused by diabetes. High blood sugar levels can damage nerves (diabetic neuropathy) and blood vessels (peripheral artery disease), making it harder for the body to fight infections and heal wounds. Without proper care, minor cuts or blisters can turn into serious infections that may lead to ulcers or, in severe cases, amputation.

Symptoms of Diabetic Foot Issues

Diabetic foot problems can develop gradually, so it’s important to recognize early warning signs and seek prompt care.

  • Numbness, tingling, or burning in the feet (signs of nerve damage)
  • Slow-healing cuts, sores, or blisters
  • Swelling, redness, or warmth in one or both feet
  • Pain or cramping in the legs or feet when walking
  • Changes in skin color or temperature
  • Fungal infections or thickened, brittle toenails
