Early Diabetic Foot Screening: Detecting Issues Before They Worsen
Early diabetic foot screening is crucial for identifying potential issues like neuropathy and poor circulation before they escalate into severe complications. Diabetes can cause nerve damage and circulation problems that make even minor injuries dangerous if left unnoticed. In Singapore, the humid climate adds to the challenge, increasing the risk of infections and slow wound healing. Dr. Darryl Lim and his team provide comprehensive diabetic foot screenings that include physical exams, nerve function testing, and personalized care advice, empowering patients to maintain foot health and prevent serious conditions.
