Free tests will prevent "dramatic consequences". They are starting all over Poland

Free foot examinations for diabetes patients will take place from November 13 to 20, aiming to prevent serious complications. Diabetes-related foot issues affect around 250,000 individuals in Poland, with many facing amputation risks. Early detection of symptoms is crucial, as one in four diabetes patients will experience foot ulcers in their lifetime. The examinations are non-invasive and require no prior preparation, assessing sensory perception and blood flow. The initiative targets diagnosed diabetes patients not currently treating open wounds, with registration available through participating medical facilities.
