Early diagnosis and proper diabetic control can prevent major complications affecting the heart, kidneys, nerves, and blood vessels.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Diabetic Foot Care in Coimbatore
Diabetic foot refers to foot problems associated with diabetes, including numbness, reduced sensation, poor circulation, infections and slow-healing wounds. Even a small cut or blister can become serious if it is not noticed or treated promptly.
You should seek medical evaluation if you have diabetes and notice a wound, ulcer, redness, swelling, numbness, colour changes, infection or a foot injury that is not healing. Early assessment can help identify complications and guide appropriate treatment.
Early signs may include numbness, tingling, burning sensation, swelling, redness, cracks, blisters, calluses, skin colour changes or wounds that heal slowly. Some people with diabetic neuropathy may have reduced sensation and may not feel pain from a foot injury.
Treatment depends on the individual's condition and may include wound assessment, infection management, pressure reduction, regular wound care and evaluation of blood circulation. The treatment plan should be based on the severity and cause of the foot problem.
Seek urgent medical attention for a rapidly spreading infection, severe swelling, significant skin colour changes, a deep wound, blackened tissue, fever or sudden worsening of a foot wound. Prompt medical assessment is particularly important for people with diabetes.
Yes. Reduced blood flow can affect the body's ability to deliver oxygen and nutrients needed for healing. When circulation problems are suspected, a healthcare professional may recommend further evaluation as part of the treatment plan.
Depending on the condition, diabetic foot care may involve specialists experienced in diabetes-related complications, wound care, vascular health and other relevant areas. The appropriate specialist depends on whether the main problem involves nerves, blood circulation, infection, wounds or another complication.
