Book review of
101 Footcare Tips for People with Diabetes
"101
Foot Care Tips For People With Diabetes is an excellent self
care guide and reference for diabetics and their caretakers.
Questions about exercise, the relevance of blood sugar control,
nail clipping, choosing appropriate footwear, what to do about
ingrown toenails, and preferred forms of exercise with diabetic
foot complications are answered. All questions are succinctly
explained with authority. Types 1 and 2 boxes at the top of
the page tell if the question refers to both or either types
of diabetes. Amusing illustrations lighten the tone and pique
interest. Chapter 11 lists additional resources valuable to
the diabetic. 101 Foot Care Tips For People With Diabetes
is a good manual for any diabetic. Its brisk, no-nonsense
explanations of complex interrelationships of diet, exercise,
skin care and health management are presented in unavoidably
clear lay terms."
Comments
from a reader of 101 Foot Care Tips for People with Diabetes
"As
a healthcare professional who lectures on foot health, I found
this book to be concise and to the point. The potential effects
from lack of proper foot care are not soft peddled. The steps
to take for preventive foot care are written and organized
in an easy-to-digest manner.With managed care taking it's
toll on the time allotted for doctor visits, our patients
need to become better informed. "101 Footcare Tips"
will help diabetics and their families know when to seek urgent
treatment for what may seem to be a minor foot problem, hopefully,
before infection and possible amputation become a real threat."
