Wednesday, May 31, 2023
Diabetes is a serious and potentially deadly disease that requires major lifestyle changes. In addition to healthy eating and exercise habits, diabetics must monitor their blood glucose, administer insulin when necessary and care for their eyes and feet. Foot problems are a leading cause of hospitalization for people with diabetes, yet the feet are often forgotten in the day-to-day management of the disease. In this webinar, we discussed why people with diabetes have problems with their feet, summarized tips for foot care, and reviewed a checklist for foot examination.
