Mississauga Halton Diabetes Foot Care Program

This program provides foot care education and management for individuals with diabetes at moderate to high risk for a diabetic ulcer or amputation. All patients must have significant loss of protective sensation measured by a monofilament test and is for those who have barriers to accessing fee-for-service foot care resources.

Care is provided by a Chiropodist or Advanced Nail Care Registered Practical Nurse and offers a number of evidence-based interventions including diabetic foot care, offloading devices, footwear and gait assessments. To find out how to get a referral click here. 

Diabetes & Pregnancy Service

The Diabetes and Pregnancy Service is a partnership with our Maternal/Child Programs. To access you must be planning to deliver your baby at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital, Milton District Hospital or Georgetown Hospital and meet the requirements of having pre-existing type 1 or 2 diabetes or gestational diabetes. The diabetes and pregnancy team of endocrinologists, nurses, dietitians and social work will work closely in supporting you and your baby to be healthy.
