If you have diabetes, it is vital to visit your podiatrist for nail trims and diabetic foot care. You are at a high risk for foot and ankle sores and infections that are difficult to heal.
Diabetic foot care involves managing blood glucose levels, routine examination of toes, feet, ankles, and lower legs, and checking for numbness or loss of feeling in the lower extremities. The doctor checks for skin discoloration, swelling, warmth, or discharge and may order X-rays and tests for infection.
