Diabetic Foot Care

At Nanticoke Foot and Ankle, Dr. Deepa Diaram is skilled in diabetic foot care and can help patients with the treatment and prevention of foot problems associated with diabetes.

Diabetes affects all body systems. In the feet, it can limit your blood flow, decrease your nerve sensation and cause delayed healing to cuts and blisters, resulting in foot wounds. Commonly, patients end up with these wounds as a result of attempting to trim their own toenails and calluses.

If these patients lose feeling in the feet, coupled with poor circulation, it can also lead to very serious infections.
