Diabetes Support Group: Foot Care in Diabetes – January 10

 

When you have diabetes, proper foot care is very important.  People with diabetes are more vulnerable to foot problems.  Poor foot care with diabetes can lead to serious health problems. 

Dr. Japera Levine, of the Foot and Ankle Institute in Zachary, will speak on foot care in diabetes at the Lane RMC Diabetes Support Group meeting Tuesday, January 10, from 6 pm–7:30 pm.  We welcome all who have Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes including family, friends and any others in a supporting role.
