Diabetic Foot Care Management

Diabetic foot care is essential for preventing serious complications such as infections, ulcers, and even amputations. People with diabetes are at a higher risk of foot problems due to nerve damage (neuropathy) and poor circulation, which can reduce the ability to sense pain and heal wounds effectively. Proper foot care management plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health and preventing complications.Regular foot examinations are necessary to check for cuts, blisters, sores, or any signs of infection. Daily washing and moisturizing help keep the skin healthy and prevent dryness or cracks that could lead to infections. Trimming nails properly, avoiding tight footwear, and wearing diabetic-friendly shoes can also reduce the risk of foot injuries.

ABPI (Ankle Brachial Pressure Index)

The Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) is a simple, non-invasive test used to assess blood flow in the legs and detect peripheral artery disease (PAD). It compares the blood pressure in the ankle to the blood pressure in the arm to determine how well blood is circulating to the lower extremities. A low ABPI score may indicate blocked or narrowed arteries, which can increase the risk of cardiovascular complications, including heart attacks and strokes. To perform the test, a blood pressure cuff is placed on both the arms and ankles, and a Doppler ultrasound device is used to measure the systolic pressure. The ABPI is calculated by dividing the ankle systolic pressure by the brachial (arm) systolic pressure. A normal ABPI range is typically between 1.0 and 1.4.

VPT (Vibration Perception Threshold)

Vibration Perception Threshold (VPT) is a diagnostic test used to assess nerve function, particularly in patients at risk of peripheral neuropathy, such as those with diabetes. It measures the ability of a person to perceive vibrations at different frequencies, helping detect early nerve damage before symptoms become severe. The test is performed using a specialized device called a biothesiometer or a tuning fork. The device is placed on various parts of the foot, typically the big toe, and gradually increases vibration intensity. The patient indicates when they can first feel the vibration, and the threshold is recorded. A VPT value above 25 volts suggests significant neuropathy, increasing the risk of foot ulcers and complications.

CANS (Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy)

Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy (CAN) is a serious complication of diabetes and other metabolic disorders that affects the autonomic nervous system’s control over heart function. The autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary body functions, including heart rate, blood pressure, and blood flow. When CAN develops, the heart’s ability to respond to physical activity, stress, and changes in blood pressure becomes impaired, increasing the risk of cardiovascular complications. Symptoms of CAN can be subtle in the early stages but may include dizziness, fainting, rapid or irregular heartbeats, exercise intolerance, and resting tachycardia. As the condition progresses, it can lead to life-threatening complications such as silent heart attacks and orthostatic hypotension.

PODIA SCAN

PODIA Scan is an advanced diagnostic tool used for assessing foot health, particularly in individuals with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy. It helps detect early signs of foot complications, including nerve damage, poor circulation, and pressure abnormalities that can lead to ulcers, infections, and even amputations. The scan uses non-invasive imaging technology to evaluate foot pressure distribution, vascular health, and nerve function. It identifies areas of excessive pressure or reduced sensation, which are key risk factors for diabetic foot ulcers. By analyzing foot biomechanics, the PODIA Scan aids in recommending custom footwear, orthotics, and preventive measures to reduce complications.This test is especially beneficial for individuals with diabetes, peripheral artery disease (PAD).

ECG

An Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the heart. It is a crucial diagnostic tool used to detect heart conditions such as arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other cardiac abnormalities. During the test, small electrodes are placed on the chest, arms, and legs to measure the heart’s electrical signals. These signals are displayed as a waveform on a monitor or printed on paper for analysis. A normal ECG shows a consistent pattern of electrical activity, while irregularities may indicate issues like heart rhythm disorders, ischemia (reduced blood flow to the heart), or electrolyte imbalances. ECG is commonly used for routine heart check-ups, preoperative assessments, and emergency evaluations of chest pain or palpitations.

PHYSIOTHERAPY

Physiotherapy is a healthcare discipline that focuses on restoring movement, improving function, and reducing pain through physical techniques such as exercises, manual therapy, and specialized equipment. It is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, neurological disorders, post-surgical rehabilitation, and chronic pain management. A physiotherapist assesses a patient’s mobility, strength, and flexibility to design a personalized treatment plan. Techniques such as stretching, strengthening exercises, electrotherapy, and hydrotherapy help improve mobility and promote healing. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in recovery from sports injuries, stroke, arthritis, and post-operative conditions like joint replacements.

Dietician Consultation

A dietician consultation is a personalized approach to nutrition and health, designed to help individuals achieve their dietary goals, manage medical conditions, and improve overall well-being. A registered dietician assesses a person’s nutritional status, lifestyle, medical history, and dietary habits to create a customized meal plan that aligns with their health needs. Dietician consultations are beneficial for weight management, diabetes control, heart health, digestive issues, food allergies, and sports nutrition. They also play a vital role in managing chronic conditions such as hypertension, kidney disease, and high cholesterol by recommending balanced diets that support overall health. During the consultation, the dietician provides education on portion control, nutrient-rich foods, and healthy eating habits.

Hormonal Profile

A Hormonal Profile is a comprehensive blood test used to evaluate the levels of various hormones in the body. It helps diagnose hormonal imbalances that can affect metabolism, reproductive health, mood, and overall well-being. This test is crucial for identifying conditions such as thyroid disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), infertility, adrenal gland dysfunction, and hormonal deficiencies. A hormonal profile is recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms like unexplained weight gain or loss, irregular menstrual cycles, fatigue, mood swings, hair loss, or difficulty in conceiving. The results help doctors design appropriate treatment plans, including medication, lifestyle changes, or hormone replacement therapy to restore balance and improve overall health.

Infertility Profile

An Infertility Profile is a series of diagnostic tests used to determine the underlying causes of infertility in both men and women. It evaluates hormonal balance, reproductive organ function, and overall health to identify potential issues affecting conception. For women, it includes tests for ovarian reserve, ovulation, and hormone levels such as FSH, LH, AMH, estrogen, and progesterone. Men undergo semen analysis, testosterone testing, and other hormonal assessments to check sperm health and production. Thyroid function and prolactin levels are also analyzed, as imbalances can impact fertility. Based on the results, doctors can recommend appropriate treatments, including lifestyle changes, medications, or assisted reproductive techniques to enhance fertility.

BMD Test

A Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Test is a diagnostic procedure used to measure the strength and density of bones, helping to assess the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. This test is commonly recommended for individuals at risk of bone loss due to aging, hormonal imbalances, certain medical conditions, or prolonged use of medications like steroids. The BMD test is usually performed using Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA scan), which measures bone density in areas such as the spine, hip, and wrist. The results are expressed as T-scores, which compare bone density to that of a healthy young adult, and Z-scores, which compare it to individuals of the same age and gender. A low BMD score indicates a higher risk of fractures and may signal conditions like osteopenia or osteoporosis.
