Diabetic Foot Circulation Assessment

Diabetes is a leading health concern in Kuwait and the Gulf region, with prevalence rates among the highest in the world. One of the most serious complications of diabetes is diabetic foot disease, which can lead to infections, ulcers, and in severe cases, amputation. The combination of neuropathy (nerve damage) and vascular disease (poor circulation) makes diabetic feet particularly vulnerable. Patients may not feel injuries due to numbness, and poor blood flow means wounds heal slowly and infections spread quickly.

At Vascular Lab Kuwait, we offer specialized vascular assessments for diabetic patients that help identify circulation problems before they lead to serious complications. Our diabetic foot assessment includes: • Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) measurement • Toe pressures for patients with calcified arteries • Arterial Doppler waveform analysis • Assessment of pedal pulses • Identification of at-risk areas We recommend annual vascular screening for all diabetic patients, more frequent assessments for those with known circulation problems or previous foot ulcers. Early detection and proper management can prevent 85% of diabetes-related amputations. Don't wait for a crisis—schedule your diabetic foot assessment today.
