Diabetic foot ulcers

I have seen many diabetic foot problems and some of these could have been seen and treated early. If you have an ulcer in your foot and you are diabetic please contact your local foot protection service, podiatrist, diabetic foot clinic (if you are known to them) for an urgent review. for further information use the following links:

Varicose veins: when is the best time to get them treated

What ever treatment you decide to have for your veins it is likely that you will need to wear some form of medical stockings afterwards. Therefore the most comfortable time for you to wear stockings is when the weather becomes a bit cooler. So as we head into October 2023 I would suggest that this is a good time to get your veins looked at and treated. For any questions please email us and we will answer these as soon as possible. Our email is enquiries@birminghamvascularclinic.net.
