You have been diagnosed with Diabetes a few months ago. You were told at that time that as your disease progresses, you may have issues with your feet. Some people experience infections between their toes that are hard to heal and can occasionally result in the amputation of the toe.
That is really something you do not want to happen to you. You decide to begin a regimen of diabetic foot care in Phoenix, AZ to catch any resulting problems before they go too far.
Yesterday, you noticed a red spot between your pinky toe and the next one in line. This causes you great concern because that happened to your brother-in-law who is also diabetic and it took them 6 weeks to cure the infections with strong antibiotics. They were concerned that he would lose his toe but early intervention with diabetic foot care in Phoenix, AZ saved his toe.
You want to begin treatment with podiatrists who have expertise in treating patients with diabetes as this always makes treatment of issues much harder for both doctor and patient.
When a patient has diabetes, he or she needs to be seen by a podiatrist at least once a year for a total foot exam and to hopefully head off any issues of the foot related to diabetes. If you happen to have a wound, infection, or ulcer of the foot immediate care should be sought. Hopefully, since you have seen a possible infected spot, that you can get a same-day appointment to begin treatment as needed.
