In this presentation, learn how to take care of your feet if you have diabetes or have a loved one with diabetes. Learn what could become a problem such as a blister or a wound. We will go over ways to prevent these issues, as well as poor blood flow and neuropathy. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and get feedback. Please remember this is not medical care but for educational purposes only.
