Nearly 24 million Americans have diabetes. One in four will develop foot complications due to their diabetes.  The warning signs are redness, tingling or loss of feeling in the foot, or cuts and scrapes that are slow to heal. Untreated symptoms of the diabetic foot result in the leading cause of non-traumatic, lower-limb amputations. Patients with diabetes are nearly 10 times higher than people without diabetes to require an amputation.  After an amputation, the chance of another amputation within 5 years is as high as 50 percent. Comprehensive foot care program, including frequent visits to your primary care physician and/or podiatric physician, can reduce amputation rates between 45 and 85 percent.

Properly fitted shoes are paramount for limiting these complications. Phipps Pharmacy provides only Dr. Comfort Diabetic footwear because they are designed specifically for the diabetic foot.
