We’re proud to share that in a recent interview, the team at Thomas Podiatry highlighted why early treatment and daily foot care play such an important role in long-term health — particularly for patients living with diabetes. Diabetes can increase the risk of foot complications due to reduced circulation and nerve damage, which may make it harder to notice injuries. Something as small as a blister, cut, or area of redness can quickly turn into a more serious issue if left untreated. That’s why early care matters. Simple, consistent habits — like daily foot checks — can help catch concerns before they escalate. Looking at your feet each day, including between the toes, allows you to spot changes early and seek care when it’s most effective. Addressing problems sooner can help prevent infections, ulcers, and even limb loss. At Thomas Podiatry, our focus is on caring for all patients while placing special emphasis on those at higher risk. Through education, preventative care, and early intervention, we aim to help patients stay healthy, mobile, and confident. If you or a loved one has diabetes, proactive foot care can make a lasting difference. A few minutes a day — and the right care team — can go a long way.
