In a commendable effort, Hyderabad-based Helping Hand Foundation (HHF) has joined forces with Osmania General Hospital (OGH) to address the challenges faced by individuals suffering from diabetes-related foot problems by offering customised diabetic shoes for free.
Diabetic foot is a severe complication that arises in people living with diabetes over time as elevated blood sugar levels can damage nerves and blood vessels in the feet. The specialised clinic operating under the department of endocrinology at OGH plays a crucial role in managing the pain and neuropathy associated with diabetic foot. The clinic also conducts various tests to assess the condition’s severity.
An important aspect of the treatment is the provision of appropriate footwear that significantly contributes to patients’ comfort and recovery. These custom shoes are tailored to meet each patient’s unique requirements and help them navigate their daily lives without inconvenience or discomfort.
