Outside of work, Thanyani enjoys connecting with her loved ones and finds relaxation in taking walks by the beach.
Her professional focus includes:
• Diabetic Foot Care:
Performing diabetic foot assessments to evaluate blood flow and sensation in the feet as this can assist in early detection and prevention of foot complications. It is recommended to have this assessed by a Podiatrist at least twice a year as a diabetic.
