FAQS

Long-term high blood sugar levels can cause a number of problems, such as harm to the blood vessels and nerves in the feet. This damage, known as diabetic neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease, can result in reduced sensation, poor circulation, and delayed wound healing in the feet.

Diabetes patients need to take extra care of their feet because they are more likely to experience foot problems. Nerve damage (neuropathy) can lead to reduced sensation, making it difficult to identify injuries or infections. Poor circulation can disrupt wound healing, increasing the risk of infections and ulcers. Proper foot care and treatment can help prevent these complications and maintain foot health.

Common foot problems for diabetic patients include neuropathy, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), foot ulcers, calluses, corns, fungal infections, and hammertoes. Neuropathy can cause numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in the feet, while PAD can result in reduced blood flow and poor wound healing. Foot ulcers are open sores or wounds that can become infected if not treated promptly. The Diabetes and Foot Care Clinic of Dr. Durai has solutions for all of these issues.

At Dr. Durai's clinic, we offer complete diabetic foot care services that focus on preventing and managing foot problems in diabetic patients. Our services include regular foot examinations, education on proper foot care techniques, treatment of foot problems such as ulcers and infections, wound care, and footwear customisation.

A foot corn is a small, localized area of thickened skin that develops in response to friction or pressure. In diabetic patients, foot corns can develop due to factors such as wearing ill-fitting shoes, foot deformities, or abnormal foot mechanics. Corns can cause discomfort or pain and may increase the risk of skin breakdown and ulceration if not managed properly. At Durai’s Diabetes and Foot Care Clinic, we provide special treatment for foot corn.

A burning sensation in the feet, also known as diabetic neuropathy, is caused by nerve damage resulting from high blood sugar levels. This damage can lead to abnormal sensations such as burning, tingling, or prickling in the feet. Burning feet can be caused by factors such as poor blood circulation, foot deformities, or wearing tight shoes. Special care and customised footwear from a specialised Diabetes and Foot Care Clinic like Dr. Durai’s Diabetes and Foot Care Clinic are recommended.
