Diabetes Foot Care by Ms Shi Pin at Fitter Feet for Life:
As a UK podiatrist she treats patients with diabetes by focusing on preventative care and managing foot health. The key steps involved in treatment include:

1. Assessment: Shi Pin conducts a thorough examination of the feet, checking for any abnormalities, skin integrity, circulation, and sensation. This helps identify at-risk patients.

2. Education: Patients receive education on proper foot care, including daily inspections, maintaining foot hygiene, and wearing appropriate footwear to prevent injuries.

3. Regular Monitoring: Shi Pin schedules
regular check-ups to monitor foot health and address any emerging issues promptly.

4. Nail Care: Shi Pin performs nail trimming and treatment for any fungal infections, which can be more common in diabetic patients.

5. Wound Care: If there are any sores or ulcers, Shi Pin provides wound care treatment, including cleaning, dressing, and monitoring for signs of infection.

6. Orthotics: Custom orthotic devices may be recommended to improve foot function and alleviate pressure on specific areas.

7. Debridement: Shi Pin performs debridement, which involves the careful removal of corns and calluses. This helps to reduce pressure points on the feet, minimizing the risk of developing ulcers or infections.

8. Pressure Relief: By addressing corns and calluses, Shi Pin can relieve excess pressure on certain areas of the foot, promoting better weight distribution and preventing painful lesions.

Enhanced Foot Care: Regular debridement as part of foot care routines can improve overall foot health, making it easier for patients to maintain foot hygiene and adhere to self-care practices.

Overall, these measures contribute to the prevention of complications, promote healing, and maintain mobility for diabetic patients.
