It’s time to get back to life and back in your game. Time to develop healthier habits. Time to protect your family by paying attention to your diabetes.

Diabetes Awareness Month reminds us of the need to focus on our health and taking care of ourselves.

Did you know that....

Diabetes can have serious consequences, including ulcers on your feet, infections, amputation, and even death. But there are simple steps that can help prevent complications in your feet:
  • It’s time to do a daily foot check. Look for minor injuries and changes to temperature, color, and even hair growth. If you notice a problem, see a podiatrist right away.
  • It’s time to stop depending on home remedies. See a podiatrist for proper diagnosis and regular care.
  • It’s time to get back in your game. Check with your podiatrist before you return to sports and other activities for advice on how to avoid injuries. When you have diabetes, even a minor foot injury can mean big trouble.
  • It’s time to cut back the comfort foods. Healthy food is medicine, and small changes can have a big impact for your diabetes. Monitor your blood sugar and see a primary care doctor regularly.
  • It’s time to see a podiatrist for regular diabetic foot exams at least once a year.
  • Diabetes is a huge concern for members of the Hispanic community, If you are Hispanic, your risk of developing diabetes is twice as high as a white American’s risk. And a wide variety of factors, from language barriers to insurance coverage, may make it more difficult to manage your diabetes.”
