Annual Diabetic Foot Assessment

Safeguard your long-term health and mobility with a comprehensive annual diabetic foot assessment in Ballymena at Fitter Feet Clinic. Diabetes can significantly affect circulation and nerve sensitivity in the lower limbs, making regular clinical monitoring essential. Our HCPC-registered podiatrists perform rigorous yearly evaluations to detect subtle changes early, classify risk levels, and prevent potential complications.

What Your Annual Diabetic Assessment Includes Your annual check is a thorough, multi-step screening process designed around established clinical guidelines:

• • Vascular Circulation Checks: Detailed pulse palpation and Doppler ultrasound testing to assess arterial blood flow to your feet and toes.

• • Neurological Sensation Testing: Monofilament and vibration sensory checks to identify early signs of peripheral neuropathy or loss of protective feeling.

• • Skin & Nail Examination: Comprehensive screening for calluses, corns, dryness, pressure points, fungal infections, or compromised nails.

• • Risk Stratification & Profiling: Formally categorising your foot risk status (low, moderate, or high) based on diagnostic findings.

• • Personalised Care Plan & GP Communication: Tailored self-care education, preventative advice, and direct reporting to your GP practice to ensure seamless continuity of care.

Why Annual Diabetic Screening is Essential Consistent yearly monitoring plays a vital role in preventing severe foot complications, particularly if you experience:

• • Decreased sensation, tingling, or numbness that limits your ability to feel minor injuries or pressure spots.

• • Cold feet, reduced pulse clarity, or slow healing following small cuts or abrasions.

• • Structural foot changes, hard skin, or corns that create high-pressure areas vulnerable to tissue breakdown.

• • A recent diagnosis of Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes requiring an initial clinical baseline evaluation.
