Frequently Asked Questions
How often should diabetics see a podiatrist? ▼
Diabetics with no complications should see a podiatrist at least once a year. Those with neuropathy, circulation issues, or a history of foot ulcers should visit every 1–3 months. Regular exams can prevent minor issues from becoming amputations.
Does Medicare cover diabetic foot care? ▼
Yes. Medicare covers annual diabetic foot exams and therapeutic shoes/inserts for qualifying patients. The coverage requirements changed in 2023 — ask your podiatrist to verify your eligibility at your first visit.
What are the warning signs of a diabetic foot problem? ▼
Watch for: slow-healing cuts or sores, numbness or tingling, skin color changes, swelling, and unusual odors. Any of these warrant immediate podiatric evaluation — diabetic foot infections can escalate to serious complications within days.
