    In response to are Diabetics getting adequate foot care?

    I work daily with patients who have diabetes daily and we try our best to encourage the following health care providers in their care.
    Endocrinologist, Podiatist and a Pedorthist.
    We also keep literature about all aspect of the disease in our store which they can take with them.
    When we see a patient we take off their shoes and sock and I do a thorough exam, them speak with them about any problem areas we may have discovered.
    They are advised on how to wash and dry their feet, not to walk around barefooted at home.

    For the most part 95% are very compliant , however there is that 5% that do not care, they will not wear socks, see a Podiatrist, go to a diabetic class, smoke, drink.

    How do we reach them................
    Now we are also seeing Juvinelle diabetes on the rise..................
    Thoughts anyone.
