Foot problems are common in people with diabetes. Over time, diabetes may cause nerve damage also known as diabetic neuropathy, that can cause tingling and pain, and can make you lose sensation in your feet. Diabetes can also lower the amount of blood flow in your feet, making it difficult for a sore or an infection to heal. The diabetic footwear is specially designed to provide comfort in diabetic foot, while also addressing other foot ailments like arch pain, arthritis, hammertoes and heel pain. Apart from this, the pair of footwear also helps offload pressure from stress areas, is lightweight, and durable, provides cushioning for motion comfort and helps correct deformities. Medlife is also currently offering a Diabetes Screening test at 70% off. The screening package offers 54 vital tests that evaluate important parameters like HbA1c, creatinine, CBC, Complete Urine Analysis, Lipid Profile and more.

These efforts are in line with Medlife’s aim to launch a holistic drive against diabetes, spanning prevention, testing and treatment. For prevention, Medlife has introduced a product called Diabetasafe, a Diabetologist recommended 100% natural and herbal formulation that works effectively to combat the root causes of diabetes. The product is available as part of Medlife Essentials, an initiative by Medlife.com that offers a complete line of dietary supplements that prevent or manage diseases that are prevalent today.
