Living with diabetes often means extra attention is needed to protect your feet. Diabetes can reduce blood flow to your lower extremities, increase your risk of infection, and impair sensation in your feet. These issues, especially when combined, make even minor foot injuries a serious concern, potentially leading to chronic wounds, infections, or, in extreme cases, amputation.
Our experienced podiatrists at Surrey Foot Service understand these risks and are committed to helping you maintain healthy, pain-free feet. With proactive care, regular checks and expert advice, we help you catch potential issues early and ensure your feet remain in the best possible condition.
At Surrey Foot Service, our diabetic foot care approach includes a range of essential services to support your health:
During every visit, our podiatrists conduct a thorough examination to check for issues like reduced circulation, impaired sensation or signs of infection. We’ll assess the strength of your pulse, the condition of your skin and test nerve function to ensure you have optimal protection against complications.

Ingrown toenails, fungal infections and calluses are more common in diabetic feet and require careful management. Our team provides gentle nail trimming, monitors for fungal infections and addresses hard skin and calluses to prevent pressure sores and ulcers.
Proper footwear is essential for diabetic feet. We guide you in selecting supportive shoes and provide custom orthotics to evenly distribute weight and prevent pressure points. This helps avoid blisters, ulcers and long-term structural issues in your feet.
Empowering you with knowledge is a key part of our care. Our podiatrists offer easy-to-follow guidance on daily foot care routines, including safe nail care, skin moisturising and how to check for early signs of problems. We want you to feel confident in caring for your feet between appointments.
At Surrey Foot Service, we’re passionate about helping you lead an active life, free from the worry of diabetic foot complications. With years of expertise in diabetic foot care, we provide the highest level of podiatric care, tailored to your unique needs. Our approach is all about prevention, education and ongoing support, ensuring you stay healthy, active and confident on your feet.
