The Newsy Neighbour
January Issue #111
Article provided by:Jenericay Wellness and Footcare
Hello, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Larry here! Roger and I had a FABULOUS holiday season
with our human. We hope you did as well. We are so excited about our New Year’s
Resolution this year; we plan to just continue with our New Year’s resolution
for 2016 – be good diabetics! It has been such an amazing thing for the past
year. We are on a roll – let’s not stop a good thing!
It
brings to mind that it has been a full year since we started the Chronicles in
this amazing magazine, The Newsy Neighbour. It has been a great journey for us.
We have taken you on holidays, hikes and through special activities. We have
given you some amazing recipes and shared our journey to wellness, including
how to do the holidays safely as a diabetic. 2016 have been both good and bad
to all of us. Some of us were on healing journeys and some of us could not wait
to be done with the year and on to the next. 2017 is here, may it be a great
one for all. Roger and I send out healing energy to all and hope this year
brings everyone the light and love that they so deserve.
In
reflection of the last twelve months and in re-reading our New Year’s
Resolution in last January’s edition, these few points stand out for both of us
once again:
•
Your
feet are not replaceable; they must last a lifetime.
•
Foot or
leg amputation could happen to you.
•
Diabetes
is the leading cause of non-traumatic lower extremity amputations.
•
Every
30 seconds, somewhere in the world, a limb is lost as a consequence of
diabetes.
•
Toe and
partial foot amputations are common.
•
Amputation
rates are greater with increasing age, in males compared with females, and
among African and Hispanic Americans.
•
More
than half of those could have been prevented by good blood sugar control,
better preventative foot care and better care of foot ulcers.
