Diabetic Foot Care
Living with diabetes means staying ahead of complications, especially those that affect your feet. At Ontario Vascular, we specialize in advanced vascular care for patients with diabetic foot conditions, helping prevent ulcers, infections, and amputations through early detection and expert intervention.
What Is Diabetic Foot?
Diabetic foot refers to a group of complications that affect the feet of people with diabetes. It commonly includes:
​
-
Poor blood circulation to the lower limbs
-
Nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy)
-
Non-healing wounds or ulcers
-
Increased risk of infection
-
Skin and tissue breakdown
If not treated properly, these conditions can progress quickly and lead to severe infections, gangrene, or even limb amputation.
Symptoms You Shouldn't Ignore
If you have diabetes, seek medical attention immediately if you notice:
​
-
Numbness or tingling in your feet
-
Slow-healing cuts or wounds
-
Redness, swelling, or warmth
-
Changes in skin colour or texture
-
Foot deformities or ulcers
These may be signs of vascular insufficiency—a serious condition that requires specialized vascular care.
