FAQs
All people with diabetes need to check their feet regularly and see a podiatrist for a yearly check-up at least. This is because having diabetes can cause damage to the nerves in your feet, blood circulation and infection. Diabetes can also increase your risk of foot ulcers and in the worst cases, amputations.
