Do You Have Regular Visits With a Wayne, NJ Diabetic Foot Specialist?

If not, then you may be putting yourself in danger. As a diabetic, you can significantly reduce your risk of suffering a diabetes-related amputation through regular visits with your podiatrist.
The benefit of being examined every four months is that your Wayne, NJ diabetic foot specialist will be able to note any changes to the health of your feet. At Wayne Foot & Ankle, our podiatrists take the time to carefully examine your feet, comparing their current condition to that of the previous visit.
In this way, we will be better able to help you stop foot problems before they make a serious impact on your life. Please help us help you by performing daily at-home monitoring of the condition of your feet, reporting immediately any new issues to your podiatrist.
Know When to Be Seen Sooner, Rather Than Later
If there are no new changes with your feet, then it is fine to be seen three times a year. However, if you notice any of the following issues or have other concerns, please call immediately for an appointment:

• One or more blisters
  
• One or more sores
  
• One or more ulcers
  
• Corns that are irritated or appear infected
  
• An ingrown toenail or redness around the nail
  
• Deep cracks in the foot
  
• A change of color in the feet
  
• A burning or tingling sensation
  
• Inability to feel touch, heat or cold in your feet
