Diabetes foot checks and care
Regular diabetes foot checks look at circulation, sensation, skin, nails and footwear. Our Liverpool clinic works with your GP to assess foot health and plan care. Bring your Medicare card and any GP chronic condition management plan referral, along with your usual shoes and relevant reports.
Why arrange regular foot checks?
Diabetes can affect feeling and circulation in the feet. A foot assessment helps guide the care and frequency of checks suited to your needs.
What does a diabetes foot check include?
Your assessment includes your diabetes history, circulation checks using Doppler ultrasound, capillary refill, skin inspection, and sensation and reflex testing. The findings guide your care plan.
What if I notice a new wound?
If you have diabetes and notice a new wound, spreading redness, swelling, warmth or a fever, see your GP the same day. If you feel unwell or the infection is spreading quickly, go to the nearest emergency department or call 000.
Can I use a GP plan?
Bring a valid GP chronic condition management plan referral if you intend to claim a Medicare rebate. We work with your GP and report back. Ahmad’s university profile describes public-health experience in high-risk foot care.

How often should I have my feet checked if I have diabetes?
Everyone with diabetes should have a foot check at least once a year. If you have reduced feeling, poor circulation, a past ulcer or foot deformity, you may need checks more often. Your podiatrist will tell you how often based on your risk.
