The facts:
· 85% of diabetes related lower extremity amputations begins with a wound (a cut, an abrasion, an ulcer) on the foot.
· 80% of those amputations are preventable.
What we can do for you:
· Provide a thorough foot assessment that identifies risk factors for ulceration (Diabetic Foot Screen*). Communicate the findings to you and then work with you to reduce or eliminate those risks while dealing with any problems early and appropriately.
· Provide information on further measures you can/should take to protect yourself.
· Support the diabetes care you are already receiving with education where necessary.
· REDUCE YOUR WORRY!
