Diabetes and Podiatry: Everything You Need to Know

Welcome to my blog. My name is Rita, and I love running, reading and my grandma. The last part is what inspired me to write this blog. A few years ago, my grandma became ill with diabetes. Many aspects of her life changed, but her feet in particular were extremely effected. Through research, I learned that feet issues are common among people with diabetes. I have found many ways to help my grandma through her issues, and while helping her, I have learned a lot about podiatry. If you want to read about the intersection of podiatry and diabetes as well as possibly other topics, please join me and explore this blog. Take care and go forward in good health.
