This National Diabetes Week (12-18 July), experts are urging older people to check their foot health regularly for early signs of diabetes and related complications.
Bolton Clarke Research Institute Senior Research Fellow Dr Rajna Ogrin says people over 65 have a higher risk of diabetes complications as a result of longer duration diabetes.
“As feet are mostly out of sight, they can be out of mind,” Dr Ogrin said.
“This can be a big problem for our clients, particularly as the first diabetes complications often manifest in feet and these can easily be missed, leading to serious illness, wounds, infections, amputations.
“If you have diabetes, it’s important to check your feet every day and get prompt medical attention for things like blisters, swelling, redness, ingrown nails, cuts and bruises, calluses, cracked skin, corns and nail colour changes.”
