Studies show that certain communities experience a disparity of risk of these complications such as foot wounds and amputations.\u00a0 Research suggests that early detection and appropriate podiatric care can significantly decrease the disproportionate burden experienced by vulnerable communities of African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native American Indians, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders.<\/p><p>Therefore, I emphasize that we need to put more effort to prevent foot ulcers than to treat them. As a part of this prevention effort, we recognize that our nation\u2019s podiatrists play vital roles in keeping diabetes-related foot complications under control therefore most effective in amputation prevention.<\/p><p>As an endocrinologist, I recommend we should teach people with diabetes how to recognize subtle signs that may occur that often precede to foot ulcers so that they are able to seek necessary podiatric care in a timely manner.<\/p><p>This book is written solely for diabetic patient education purposes, but as a healthcare advocate, I greatly anticipate the potential impact it has in improving the lives of high-risk communities.
