Diabetes Awareness with my FootDr podiatry centres

Around 1.7 million Australians live with diabetes, with people over the age of 55 more likely to have the disease. Unfortunately, 10,000 of them are admitted to hospital every year for diabetes-related foot ulcers, with a staggering 4400 ending up with a lower limb, or part of a limb, amputated.

85% of diabetes-related amputations are preventable if problems are detected early and a care plan and foot protection program is established.

Visit your my FootDr podiatrist at least every 12 months and help us stomp out Australia’s foot problem.
