What Is Diabetic Foot Screening and Why Does It Matter?
Diabetic foot screening is a structured clinical assessment that evaluates your feet's health when living with diabetes, identifying early signs of peripheral neuropathy, reduced blood circulation, structural deformities, and skin changes before any pain appears.
High blood sugar levels damage nerves and vessels over time, causing patients to lose sensation. A minor cut can silently develop into a diabetic foot ulcer, rapidly escalating infection risk.
Who Should Get a Diabetic Foot Screening?
Diabetic foot screening in Mohali at 14Steps is recommended for a wide range of patients — not just those with existing foot problems. Schedule your screening if any of the following apply to you:
Diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, regardless of blood sugar control.
Living with diabetes for 5 or more years with increasing nerve damage risk.
Experiencing tingling, numbness, or burning sensation in feet or legs.
History of slow-healing wounds, cuts, or diabetic foot ulcers.
HbA1c levels above 7.5% indicating poor long-term blood sugar control.
Diagnosed with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) or cardiovascular complications.

Risks of Skipping Your Annual Diabetic Foot Check
One of the most dangerous aspects of diabetic neuropathy is that it is silent. Because nerve damage progressively reduces pain signals, patients can have a serious developing wound and feel absolutely nothing. This is precisely why skipping your annual diabetic foot check-up is far riskier than most people realize.
When early warning signs are missed due to a lack of regular foot monitoring, the consequences escalate quickly:
- Indicator 01
Diabetic foot ulcers that resist healing and become severely infected
- Indicator 02
Osteomyelitis, or deep bone infection, that often requires surgical intervention
- Indicator 03
Charcot neuroarthropathy, a progressive joint destruction that permanently deforms the foot
- Indicator 04
Gangrene and tissue death, leading to partial or full lower limb amputation
- Indicator 05
Significantly higher hospitalisation costs and longer recovery periods
