Diabetic foot checks in Sheffield S8
Diabetic foot health check at home in Sheffield S8
Diabetes affects feet in two ways that feed each other: reduced sensation, so an injury goes unnoticed, and reduced circulation, so it heals slowly. A regular check is the simplest way to catch a small problem while it is still small.
Deborah Crowley is licensed to carry out diabetic foot checks and is qualified by the professional register for foot health care. The check is £30 and takes about forty five minutes in your own home. It is a foot health check rather than a treatment.
What the check covers
- A sensation check across the foot, looking for loss of protective feeling
- A pulse and circulation assessment at the foot and ankle
- A full skin and nail inspection, including between the toes and around the heels
- A look at pressure points, foot shape changes and any callus building up
- Clear, written-down advice on footwear and daily checks
- A pointer to your GP or diabetes team if anything needs medical attention
This is a check, not a treatment
That distinction matters. Deborah is checking the health of your feet and telling you plainly what she finds. She does not treat ulcers, wounds or infections, and she will not delay you in getting medical help if something needs it.
It sits alongside the annual review from your GP or diabetes team rather than replacing it, and many people book it between those reviews.
Contact your GP the same day if you notice
- A break in the skin, blister or ulcer that is not healing
- Redness, swelling, heat or an unusual smell
- A sudden change in foot colour or shape
- New numbness, tingling or burning pain
