Prevent Serious Consequences to Diabetics
60-70% of diabetics suffer from nerve damage that can affect many parts of the body but most commonly involves the hands and feet (peripheral neuropathy). “Nerve damage typically shows up first in the feet and is the primary cause of foot problems for people with diabetes,” says Dr. Alan Berman, Podiatrist of Somers Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine Group. 
Dr. Alan Berman “Our P-E-T guidelines give the patient three primary things to remember in caring for their feet,” says Dr. Berman, “PROTECT your feet, EXAMINE them daily, and TELL your doctor immediately if you detect any irregularity. These steps will help prevent the serious consequences of diabetesrelated foot problems. |
