Diabetes Care
Diabetes can reduce sensation and blood flow in the feet, so small problems can become serious quickly. Good foot care prevents ulcers, infections and, in severe cases, amputation. Dr. Abhyudaya Verma provides foot screening and care as part of complete diabetes management.
Why feet are at risk in diabetes
High blood sugar over time can damage nerves (neuropathy) and narrow blood vessels. This means injuries may go unnoticed and heal slowly — making prevention and regular checks essential.

Frequently asked questions
How can diabetics prevent foot problems?
Keep blood sugar controlled, check your feet daily, wear proper footwear, and have regular foot screening. Catching problems early prevents most serious complications.
When should I see a doctor about my feet?
See your doctor promptly for any cut, blister, redness, swelling, numbness or wound that isn't healing — early treatment is critical in diabetes.
Can diabetic foot ulcers heal?
Yes — with proper wound care, good blood-sugar control and timely treatment, many ulcers heal. The key is acting early rather than waiting.
