For people with diabetes, having too much glucose (sugar) in their blood for a long time can cause some serious complications including foot problems. As a person with diabetes, you are more vulnerable to foot problems, as diabetes can damage your nerves and reduce blood flow to your feet. Our G-Pulse machine can aid with this. Our clinic provides a thorough diabetic assessment as well as ongoing routine checkups to maintain excellent foot health.
