**The Importance of Regular Foot Checks for Diabetics**

Managing diabetes involves taking care of many aspects of health, and one crucial area that often gets overlooked is foot care.

Regular foot checks are essential for individuals living with diabetes, as they help prevent complications that can arise from poor foot health. Diabetic neuropathy can lead to decreased sensation in the feet, making it difficult to notice injuries or infections. Additionally, circulation issues can impair healing, increasing the risk of serious complications.

At Revive Footcare, we recognize the importance of proactive foot health management, which is why we are excited to introduce our new Footcare Treatment specifically designed for individuals with diabetes offered by our Foot Health Practitioner Letty. Available every Tuesday at our Byfleet clinic, this service aims to enhance the health and well-being of our community. Our comprehensive treatment includes: - **Assessment of foot pulses and sensation:** Early detection of any issues can prevent more serious complications. - **Nail cutting:** Proper nail care can prevent ingrown nails and associated pain. - **Removal of calluses and corns:** This helps maintain foot comfort and hygiene. - **Application of soothing emollient:** Keeping feet moisturized reduces the risk of cracks and infections. All of this is available for just £38 per person, making it an affordable option for maintaining foot health. By offering this treatment, we aim to empower individuals with diabetes to take charge of their foot health, fostering a healthier community overall. Regular foot care can significantly reduce the risk of complications, leading to a more active and fulfilling life. For more information or to book your appointment online, please visit our website at www.Revivefootcare.com or call us at 07528513275. Let’s take the first step towards healthier feet together!

MEN AND WOMEN TOE NAIL RECONSTRUCTION⭐️✨🩴🩴
-This gentleman was going to Ibiza with his friends and did not feel comfortable with his damaged toe nail, he visited the Byfleet clinic Revive Footcare, ET VOILA!!!!! He can now put his tootsies on show…. Another very happy customer 😁❤️
👣👣👣👣 don’t let an unsightly toe nail ruin your holiday or restrict your choice of footwear 👣👣👣
Too many people spend their life being embarrassed by their nails to such an extent that it restricts what shoes they wear and even what activities they undertake.
Nail reconstruction is a fantastic technique for those that want to improve the look of nails that may have been damaged through eg. sports or traumas such as stubbing the toe, or been affected through nail surgery or fungal nail infection.
I hear from many clients that they won’t swim on holiday as they don’t want people to see their feet. Or they won’t wear the shoes they really want to wear to a special event, as they want to keep their toenails hidden 😔Others won’t wear sandals in the summer as they are just too self conscious about their nails🩴🩴
⭐️⭐️The good news is toenail reconstruction/toenail replacement can help⭐️⭐️
Using a flexible resin I will reconstruct and instantly improve the look of your nails! 🎉
A toenail replacement is created using a specialist gel called LCN UK Wilde Pedique which is layered directly onto the nail bed and any toenail that is remaining, and is then UV light cured in a painless process. The reconstructed nail is extremely flexible, and does not damage the natural nail plate or affect natural nail growth, so is very safe and effective.
This is carried out at the Revive Footcare Podiatry Byfleet clinic every Tuesday afternoon.
If you need more information or have any questions, give me a call ❤️⭐️👣

Damaged or Missing Nails
Whether due to trauma, sports injury, or surgically removed, nails can be reconstructed using Wilde-Pedique Plus. This allows the new nail to grow in alignment along the sulcus minimising the risk of an ingrown toenail.

Split or Cracked Nails
A Wilde-Pedique Plus overlay can be used to cover the split/crack, protecting the nail and preventing snagging

Fungal Nails
Wilde-Pedique Plus can be used in conjunction with anti-fungal treatment. It, in itself, is not a cure but seals the fragile nail, covers discolouration, and can limit the spread of infection.

Thickened Nails
After thinning the nails, a Wilde-Pedique Plus overlay can be applied to prevent fungus penetrating the nail.

LCN Wilde-Pedique Plus
With the increase in us wanting our feet to appear well cared for and attractive, nail cosmetic treatments are becoming more popular. Wilde-Pedique Plus, a modern corrective material, is an elastic UV gel specifically designed for toenails. It adjusts to the movements of the toe due to its flexibility making it feel very natural and comfortable to wear.

The gel has anti-fungal properties; the 'plus' is the anti-mycotic agent Olamine Piroctone which protects against fungal infections.

For best results there should be some natural nail or nail spurs left to work with which allows the gel to adhere properly. Whilst it is possible to reconstruct toes without a nail using Wilde-Pedique Plus this is a short term solution that usually only lasts up to 48hrs as there is nothing for the gel to adhere to and so is only recommended for special occasion use.

The natural nail/nail bed is prepared and then layers of Wilde-Pedique Plus are applied thinly, shaped, and then cured after each layer under an LED lamp. The final layer can be adjusted to your preference - it can be left with a matt finish or a high shine layer can be applied.

A Wilde-Pedique Plus nail can be treated like any other nail. It can be cut and filed and nail polish can be applied if required.

In theory, a reconstructed/overlaid nail will grow out in about 10 months, however it is good practice to have it checked by your Podiatrist/Foot Health Practitioner every 6-8 weeks as there may be a need to refill/replace dependent on the condition of the nail and how the new nail is growing.

As the temperatures drop, it is important that we take extra precautions with our feet as they get colder quicker than the rest of our body 👣 . According to the article written by Jake Addison on "exploring the impact of the cold weather on foot conditions " - "

-Effects of Cold Temperatures and Wet Conditions on Foot Health

Cold weather can significantly affect foot health. The drop in temperature often leads to reduced blood flow to the extremities, which can cause a decrease in sensation in the feet. This reduced sensation can be problematic as it makes it harder to notice injuries or the onset of conditions like frostbite. Wet conditions, common in winter, also pose a risk. Moisture can break down the skin, leading to potential infections and discomfort. It's crucial to keep feet dry and warm to avoid these issues.

-Increased Risk for Individuals with Pre-existing Medical Conditions

For individuals with pre-existing medical conditions, such as diabetes, neuropathy, or poor circulation, the risks are heightened. These conditions can impair sensation in the feet, making it harder to detect cold or injury. This lack of sensation increases the risk of unnoticed cuts, sores, or even frostbite, which can escalate into more serious complications. Therefore, those with such conditions must take extra precautions during the colder months.

-Discomfort Caused by Winter Footwear and Risk of Slips and Falls

Winter footwear, designed to be sturdy and warm, can sometimes cause discomfort. Ill-fitting boots may lead to blisters, corns, or calluses, especially when worn for extended periods. Moreover, the risk of slips and falls increases in winter due to icy surfaces. It's essential to choose footwear with good grip to reduce this risk. Additionally, while keeping the feet warm is vital, ensuring that winter shoes and socks do not restrict circulation is equally important to maintain foot health."

Whilst the cold weather sets in, it’s essential to look out for each other, especially those who are vulnerable and elderly as they tend to suffer with cold extremities as it is. Check in on grandparents, parents, neighbours and friends this winter to ensure they are warm enough (especially the feet) and ensure that they do not have any injuries on their feet which could be worsened by the cold. ❄️

If you are worried about someone’s feet/ think they have a small wound/ foot problem, give us a call on 07923400022 and we can set up an appointment.
