Medical Disclaimer: Foot care for diabetics requires regular podiatric assessment. This article provides general dietary information only.
Diabetic foot complications — from neuropathy and poor circulation to ulcers and amputation — represent one of the most preventable categories of diabetic complications. Blood sugar control is the primary prevention strategy.
Chronic high blood sugar damages peripheral nerves (neuropathy) and small blood vessels (microangiopathy). The feet, furthest from the heart and richest in fine nerve endings, are disproportionately affected.
By normalising blood glucose, keto removes the primary driver of neuropathic and vascular foot damage. Multiple studies show reduced neuropathy progression with excellent glycaemic control.
All diabetics should inspect their feet daily — this is non-negotiable and dietary. Report any cuts, blisters, or colour changes to your GP or podiatrist promptly.
Omega-3 fatty acids support microvascular health. Our keto main dishes featuring fatty fish and our keto salads with anti-inflammatory olive oil are excellent for circulation.
