Diagnostic care
Eye, bone, heart, circulation and nerve tests that help us look after the whole person with diabetes, not just the foot.
10 investigations · explained in plain language
Eye screening
A quick, painless photograph of the back of the eye (the retina). It shows early changes caused by diabetes, such as diabetic retinopathy, long before vision is affected, and gives a clear record to compare at the next visit.
Bone health
A low-dose X-ray scan that measures bone mineral density at the hip and spine. Long-standing diabetes and age both affect bone strength, and this test finds thinning bones (osteoporosis) before a fracture happens.
Body composition
The same DEXA scanner can map how much of your body is fat, muscle and bone, region by region. It separates harmful belly (visceral) fat from fat under the skin, which helps plan diet, exercise and diabetes control.
Imaging
Sharp digital images of bones and joints, taken with a lower radiation dose than older film X-rays. For the diabetic foot it is used to look for bone infection, Charcot changes, fractures and foreign bodies.
Imaging
Ultrasound uses sound waves, not radiation, to show soft tissues, blood vessels and organs in real time. It helps find collections of pus, swelling and soft-tissue problems, and checks organs such as the liver and kidneys.
Heart
Also called a stress test. You walk on a treadmill that slowly gets faster and steeper while your heart rhythm and blood pressure are monitored. People with diabetes can have heart disease without chest pain, so this test helps find it early.
Heart
A simple test that records the electrical activity of the heart through small stickers on the chest. It takes a few minutes and helps detect rhythm problems and signs of a past or current heart attack.
Heart
An ultrasound scan of the heart that shows its chambers, valves and pumping strength. It is painless, needs no preparation and takes about 30 minutes, and is often done before foot surgery to make sure the heart is fit for it.
Circulation
A set of tests that checks the arteries and veins of the legs, including ankle-brachial index (ABI) and Doppler studies. Poor blood flow slows wound healing, so this is one of the most important checks for anyone with a diabetic foot problem.
Nerves
Diabetes can slowly damage the nerves of the feet, causing numbness, tingling or burning. Simple tests of touch, vibration and temperature show how much protective feeling is left, so a small injury is not missed.
