Diabetic foot - Clínica Navarro Podología

What is it and how can we treat it?

Patients with diabetes often have elevated blood glucose levels, which can affect circulation and nerve sensitivity in the feet, increasing the likehood of plantar ulcers, deformities and injuries that, if not properly treated, may lead to serious complications.
