Diabetes, Heart Disease and Stroke!!
Diet Drinks Linked to Heart Problems, Stroke
Here is another concern for our patients with Diabetes! Many patients switch to Diet drinks to help with the sugar. Unfortunately, this rarely works and can frequently make the problems worse. So what do you do? Start by swapping out one diet drink for a glass of water. Do this every week until you are down to one or less per week! You will feel better.
Other things that you can do with diabetes:
1. Check your feet every day!!
2. No bare feet!!
3. If you notice any foot sores or wounds come in to see your Podiatrist or Primary Care Physician Immediately!
Put your feet in good hands. For all of your foot care needs. Come in to:

Diabetes Peripheral Neuopathy
NeuRemedy, "The Neuropathy Vitamin", is used to nutritionally manage the pain, burning, numbness and tingling asso
ciated with peripheral neuropathy.
Foot injuries occur more frequently with the decreased levels of sensation often
associated with peripheral neuropathy. Take care of your feet with these ten tips for better foot health!
"Ten Tips for Better Foot Care for People with Peripheral Neuropathy"
1. Examine your feet once a day. Your ability to feel injuries or sores on your feet may be diminished by the effects of peripheral neuropathy. Do not forget to inspect between the toes! Use a mirror if necessary.
2. Notify your doctor if you find a problem. Receiving treatment immediately following an injury will likely decrease long-term consequences. See your podiatrist for help.
3. Get your feet checked professionally and frequently. Your podiatrist or physician may recognize problems with your feet that you may miss.
4. Keep your feet clean. Wash your feet with soap and water and dry them well once a day. Be certain to wash and dry between your toes. If you have an open sore consult your physician before washing.
5. No operating on yourself! Do not trim corns, calluses or toenails on your own. Seek the assistance of a medical professional.
6. Avoid ill fitting shoes. Make certain that shoes fit properly to prevent rubs or sores. Have your shoes fitted by a professional.
7. Wear the right socks. Select socks that are soft and do not cut off circulation to your feet. Put a pair of clean and dry socks on every time you put on your shoes.
8. Wear the right shoe for the activity. Wear athletic shoes when exercising. This will help you to avoid injuries.
9. Don't walk barefoot. Insensitive unprotected feet are prone to cuts and puncture wounds.
10. Stop smoking immediately. Now is a better time than ever. Avoid second hand smoke and smokeless tobacco. Smoking interferes with your body's ability to heal injuries and may cause non-healing sores, gangrene and amputations.
It is our goal to continue to be a resource for answers to your questions about peripheral neuropathy and to help you make educated decisions about how to manage your peripheral neuropathy symptoms.
