Diabetic Foot Ulcers – Circulation Tests

There are two main foot pulses: one on the top and one on the side that goes down to the bottom. Those are both checked periodically in a diabetic foot exam. Those can be checked every few months or even once a year by your general doctor, your nurse practitioner, or indeed your foot specialist – your podiatrist.
