About ten years ago, I was diagnosed with diabetes. That diagnosis hit me very hard because I thought that my life would be too different from what I had known. Over the years, I have accepted the diagnosis and have found ways to live as I would without the disease. Having diabetes does require me to make more trips to my doctor and to my podiatrist. If you have diabetes and have yet to visit a podiatrist, this blog can show you why you should start going now. You will find information about how diabetes impacts your feet and what you can do to prevent the long-term problems that can arise.
