Your Diabetes Diet

This comprehensive guide to foot care includes a quick-reference card for conducting a foot exam, a monofilament for sensory testing, and templates for waiting room posters and medical record stickers.

Early identification of foot problems and early intervention to prevent problems from worsening can avert many amputations. Good foot care, therefore, is
an essential part of diabetes management – for patients as well as for health care providers.

This book is designed for primary care and other health care providers who counsel people with diabetes about preventive health care practices, particularly
foot care. “Feet Can Last a Lifetime” is designed to help you implement four basic steps for preventive foot care in your practice:

Early identification of the high risk diabetic foot.
Early diagnosis of foot problems.
Early intervention to prevent further
deterioration that may lead to amputation.
Patient education for proper care of the feet and footwear.
