Should Every Diabetic See a Podiatrist for Foot Care?

While it is not mandatory that all diabetics see a podiatrist, it is important to understand that when problems do arise with your feet and ankles, a podiatrist can provide you with diagnosis and treatment protocol that can’t be otherwise provided.  Left untreated diabetic foot problems can lead to amputations and other serious complications.  Don’t hesitate if you have issues, see a podiatrist, and work with your physician to achieve optimum blood sugar control.
