Annual Foot Screening
A once-a-year foot check that catches diabetic nerve, circulation and pressure problems early, in India.
An annual diabetic foot screening in India is a once-a-year check of your nerves, circulation, skin and foot pressure that finds the earliest signs of trouble, before they can turn into an ulcer or lead to amputation. At Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC) it is carried out by Dr. Ashutosh Shah (M.S., M.Ch., 22+ years) at our clinics in Surat, Gujarat and Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh.
Why an Annual Foot Screening Matters
Diabetic foot problems build silently, because nerve damage removes the pain that would normally warn you. The IWGDF 2023 guidelines recommend that every person with diabetes has their feet screened at least once a year, and more often if risk is found. Catching a problem early is far cheaper and safer than treating an ulcer later.
What the Annual Foot Screening Includes
- A nerve check through a neuropathy assessment for loss of protective sensation.
- A circulation check through a vascular assessment of the foot pulses and blood flow.
- Inspection of skin, nails, calluses and any early wounds.
- A look at foot shape, deformity and pressure points.
- A clear risk category and a personal prevention plan.
Who Should Get an Annual Foot Screening
- Everyone with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, even with no symptoms.
- People with numbness, tingling or cold feet.
- Anyone with a previous ulcer, callus or foot deformity.
- Those wanting to stay ahead of diabetic foot problems.
Why Choose EDFC and Dr. Ashutosh Shah
EDFC is India’s first chain of clinics dedicated to diabetic foot care, so screening here is thorough and specialist-led. Nerve, circulation and pressure checks happen in one visit as part of our full assessment and diagnostics, giving you a clear answer and a plan the same day.
What Happens After the Screening
Low-risk feet receive simple foot-care advice and a yearly recall. If risk is found, you move to more frequent high-risk foot screening, protective footwear and closer follow-up.
