About Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes

There are about 98 million American adults who have prediabetes – that’s 1 in 3 adults! Of those 98 million, more than 8 in 10 of them don’t even know they have it. Without taking action, many people with prediabetes could develop type 2 diabetes within 5 years.

With numbers like that, it’s important to learn about prediabetes and take action.

Take the CDC online Test Here!

It only takes a couple of minutres for you to know your risk.

An actual photo of a Charcot foot and ankle- another symptom of DIABETES

"Foot gangrene, defined as dead tissue in the foot resulting from inadequate blood flow supply, is one of the manifestations of critical limb ischemia [1]. It can be caused by obstructed peripheral circulation or bacterial infections [2]. Foot ulcers in patients with diabetes are at an increased risk of foot gangrene, mainly due to peripheral arterial disease (PAD) [3] and foot infections [4]. Foot gangrene can be classified into two types: (1) dry gangrene with ischemic tissue but no infection, and (2) wet gangrene with both infectious and necrotic tissue [2]. Infectious foot gangrene (wet gangrene) is both a limb- and life-threatening disease. Proper medical treatment with antibiotics and wound dressing may not be effective without timely surgery to remove the necrotic and infectious tissue" National Health Library
