Today is World Diabetes Day – A Reminder to Look After Your Feet & Your Health
After a busy day in clinic, I’ve been reflecting on just how important diabetes foot care truly is.
This week, I carried out several diabetes foot screenings—each one an opportunity to help someone reduce their risk of complications, feel confident in their self-care, and walk away reassured that support is always available.
During these appointments, we talked about:
✔️ Early signs to look out for
✔️ Daily self-management tips
✔️ How to prevent common foot complications
✔️ When to seek help and why early action matters
One of the most important messages I share with every patient is this: you’re never bothering me by getting in touch. If something doesn’t look or feel right, I want to hear from you. Early advice can make all the difference.
As a proud member of the Royal College of Podiatry, I’m committed to providing evidence-based care and helping people with diabetes stay informed, empowered, and on their feet—quite literally.
On World Diabetes Day, let’s raise awareness, support one another, and keep the conversation going. Your feet carry you through every day… let’s give them the care they deserve. 💙👣
