Just a reminder that I will be at the EW Norman vendors fair tomorrow, Saturday December 10th from 10-3. I have put together a little basket of goodies with a gift certificate for a treatment with me which will be raffled off. This is good for anyone, but if you have a family member with diabetes, mobility or circulation problems you might want to gift it to them!

According to the latest statistics from Diabetes Canada, as of March 2022 there are 4,003,000 Canadians with diagnosed Type I or Type II Diabetes. In addition, there is an estimated 7,701,000 people living with pre diabetes or undiagnosed Type II Diabetes in this country. These people make up 30% of the population. Foot ulceration affects approximately 15-25% of diabetics and contributes to 70% of all non-traumatic leg and foot amputations. Stay tuned to my page for more information on how to prevent, detect and care for yourself if you are diagnosed. Foot care done by a qualified practitioner is crucial for diabetics of any age to prevent, identify or treat any concerns early on but it is just one aspect of self care when living with Diabetes.

If you are diabetic or are living with peripheral vascular circulation issues regular foot care is vital to your health.
