Diabetic Foot Screening Package

Diabetic foot is among the most common—and serious—complications of diabetes, often leading to chronic wounds, severe infections, and in advanced cases, amputation. Early screening plays a crucial role in detecting initial damage, preventing severe outcomes, and enabling timely treatment. This evaluation is essential for all individuals with diabetes—especially those with a history of foot ulcers, neuropathy, or poor blood sugar control—and should be conducted at least once a year.

Diabetes can damage the nerves (diabetic neuropathy) and reduce blood circulation in the feet. This combination makes it harder for patients to feel pain or notice injuries like blisters or wounds. If left untreated, even minor foot injuries can develop into serious infections, gangrene, and eventually lead to amputation.
