Keeping feet healthy

Minor foot injuries in people with diabetes often lead to major amputations. To prevent such drastic treatment people with diabetes must take extra care to keep their feet healthy. Dan Finkenthal, RN, of the Diabetes Partnership will describe the routines and procedures for keeping feet healthy at the Oct. 17 meeting of the Euclid Diabetes Support Group. His talk will be especially helpful for people diagnosed with diabetes or pre-diabetes.

The meeting starts at 7 p.m. at the Euclid Public Library and is free and open to the public.

The purpose of the Euclid Diabetes Support Group is to help people with diabetes live a healthy lifestyle. Monthly meetings help people socialize, ask questions, and learn to live better with diabetes.
