The health of your feet plays a crucial role in your overall well-being, physical activity level, and quality of life. Patients with diabetes, who are at a higher risk of developing foot complications, should never underestimate a wound, even a minor one. Even a simple callus could be the tip of the iceberg, leading to a severe, non-healing wound. Daily foot checks at home and routine foot checks by a healthcare professional are key in the prevention and early treatment of wounds.
