Devices like the Medipin, Retractable Monofilament, and Neuropen Testing Device are crucial for early detection of neuropathy by assessing nerve function and loss of protective sensation. Regular monitoring can help in timely intervention, preventing severe complications and maintaining overall health.

This reduces the risk of foot complications and enhances overall foot health, allowing individuals to stay active and comfortable.

Daily diabetes & foot care advice

  • Wash feet daily in warm water.
  • Dry carefully with towel.
  • Tinea Pedis, otherwise known as Athlete's Foot can cause split skin in between the toes, so ask your Podiatrist/Chiropodist for medication to treat this problem.
  • Use emollient cream daily to prevent dry and cracked skin - do not apply cream between the toes.
  • Cut toe nails to the shape of the toe and file until smooth.
  • Never cut down the sides of the toenail as this can cause ingrown toenails, which can lead to infection.
    Inspect feet daily with a hand mirror or with the help of another person.
  • Look out for cuts or abrasions, as the individual may be unaware of them due to sensory loss. Report these to GP immediately!
