Why is diabetes foot care so important!!!!
This client has Type 1 diabetes. He was referred to me by the diabetic nurse for callus.
In assessing his feet, I identified slight loss of feeling in this toe.
It had a large callus build up with some fungal aspect.
The treatment was to scalpel down and removed the build up.
As you can see there is some blood vessels pressure. If the callus has not been removed, this had potential to turn in to a foot ulcer! This could have been very dangerous for the patients.
We have identified, treated and given so good aftercare advice and we will review monthly.
