Why is blood sugar control important for the diabetic foot?

High blood sugar damages nerves and arteries and slows wound healing, so it drives most diabetic foot problems. Keeping glucose in range helps ulcers heal, slows nerve and artery damage, and prevents new wounds.

What HbA1c should I aim for to protect my feet?

Targets are set individually with your doctor, but better control generally means better healing and lower risk. The aim is steady improvement toward your personal target rather than a single fixed number for everyone.

Does better sugar control help a foot ulcer heal faster?

Yes. Improved blood sugar supports the body's ability to fight infection and rebuild tissue, so ulcers tend to heal faster and are less likely to return when glucose is well controlled.

Can EDFC change my diabetes medication?

EDFC provides foot-focused guidance and coordinates with your diabetologist, but your diabetes medication should be adjusted by your own doctor. The two work together so foot healing and diabetes care align.

How is blood sugar guidance linked to diet?

Food has a major effect on glucose, so blood sugar guidance works closely with dietician consultation. Together they help you make sustainable changes that support both your feet and overall health.

How much does blood sugar control guidance cost in India?

This guidance is usually part of a foot-care consultation or package. EDFC explains all charges before starting. Contact the clinic for an estimate for your needs.
