As foot health practitioners, we form part of a larger team of professionals taking care of the needs of the diabetic population. Our services include regularly checking the nerve function and blood flow of the lower legs and feet. Blood flow assessment includes performing a Doppler assisted calculation of the ABI/TBI index (the medical gold standard). Skin checks are performed for signs of damage and toenail conditions are diagnosed and treated. Advice on footwear can be given as well as referrals made to other care providers such as diabetic nurses, GP’s or podiatrists.
