Why Every Diabetic Needs to See a Podiatrist—Before It’s Too Late
If you’re living with diabetes, your shoes are more than just footwear — they’re your first line of defense.
Every year, thousands of diabetics face serious foot complications that could have been prevented with the right pair of shoes. At Bloomfield Family Footcare, we specialize in diabetic foot care, and we’ve seen firsthand how custom diabetic footwear changes lives — and saves limbs.
⚠️ The Hidden Danger of Diabetes:
When you have diabetes, even a small blister or pressure point can turn into a serious wound — and because of nerve damage (neuropathy), you might not even feel it happening. Combine that with poor circulation, and healing becomes a major challenge.
đź‘ź Diabetic Shoes: More Than Just Comfort
Diabetic shoes are specially designed to:
-
Reduce pressure points that cause ulcers
-
Improve circulation with a proper fit
-
Prevent rubbing and friction
-
Protect against injury with reinforced soles and padded interiors
And best of all? If you’re eligible, Medicare may cover the cost of one pair of diabetic shoes and inserts per year!
