💙 DIABETES AWARENESS WEEK 💙
This year's theme is
Did you know that 8 out of 10 people living with diabetes say they have experienced negative attitudes because of their condition?
As a podiatrist with years of NHS experience in diabetic foot complications, I see the importance of supporting people with diabetes, not judging them.
👣 Diabetes can affect circulation and sensation in the feet, making regular foot checks essential.
✔ Check your feet daily
✔ Don't ignore cuts, blisters or changes
✔ Seek professional advice early
✔ Attend regular foot assessments
Together we can raise awareness, challenge stigma and help people living with diabetes stay healthy and supported.
📞 If you have diabetes and would like a foot health assessment, please do not hesitate to get in touch!
