Approximately 1 in 5 Canadians over the age of 60 is diagnosed with diabetes, a chronic medical condition affecting how our bodies process blood sugar. Complications of diabetes can be associated with other serious health issues, including foot ulcerations and lower limb amputations. Alongside an active lifestyle and healthy eating habits, custom foot orthotics can be an integral part of diabetes management. Custom foot orthotics help redistribute pressure away from areas at risk of ulceration, and combined with supportive footwear, can help keep you happily on your feet! Book in for an assessment to see if we can support you in your diabetic care.
