PODIATRIST STATES THAT MINOR FOOT PROBLEMS CAN BE LIFE-THREATENING TO DIABETIC

PODIATRIST, DR. SCOTT KOCHENOWER STATES, "A SMALL CUT, BLISTER, CALLUS, OR SIMPLE CORN ON A FOOT CAN LEAD TO A LIFE-THREATENING HEALTH COMPLICATION FOR SOMEONE WITH DIABETES.  JUST 2 WEEKS AFTER AN UNNAMED PATIENT WITH DIABETES  WAS WARNED THAT CALLUSES ON THE BOTTOM OF HIS FOOT NEEDED PROPER ATTENTION, THE PATIENT ENDED UP IN SURGERY LOSING HALF THAT FOOT TO A DEEP DIABETIC ULCER OR INFECTED WOUND THAT DEVELOPED UNDER THE CALLUS."

PODIATRIST KOCHENOWER ALSO STATES, "THE DEEP ULCER HE FOUND UNDER HIS PATIENT'S CALLUS IS SOMETHING HE NEVER HOPES TO SEE AGAIN, BUT IT WAS WISHFUL THINKING ON HIS PART.  WE SEE IT ALL THE TIME.  THEY DON'T TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES,L SO THEY NEVER NOTICE IT."
