People who suffer with diabetes usually undergo an annual review to ensure that their diabetes is not causing another medical issue. It is important that diabetes sufferers look after their feet.  

An individual should check their feet regularly to ensure there are no signs of change, or that any foot injuries are healing well.  As diabetes can reduce the blood supply in the feet, this can reduce the loss of feeling, so you may not notice a problem. This may lead to infections and ulcers as healing may be less effective causing longer-term issues, including the loss of a toe(s) and/or feet.

If you are diabetic and have suffered an issue with your feet that may have resulted in amputation then we may be able to help you recover compensation, arrange treatment and more with a medical negligence claim.
