Foot Care & Diabetes
Question: What if I develop a Diabetic Foot Ulcer?
Answer: People with diabetes have a 15-25% lifetime risk of developing DFU, many of which are often associated with impaired blood flow and may not heal within an appropriate time frame. If you develop a DFU, immediately see your Podiatrist or visit a Wound Care Center for proper foot care.
Question: Why Should I Seek Treatment?
Answer: If left untreated DFUs can become infected and may lead to serious complications. If detected and treated early, many of these complications can be averted. With the multitude of resources available to Veterans with diabetes, never hesitate to seek immediate medical attention when you become aware of a foot wound
