Overview

This book is bilingual English-Spanish.
Diabetes is a disease of epidemic proportions. Many of my diabetic patients come to me far less
informed about the disease than they deserve. They often have a difficult time realizing the possible
complications associated with diabetes. Many do not take care of themselves as well as they should. I want to empower you to do everything possible to avoid unnecessary complications from diabetes, including the dreaded complication of limb loss. I want to help improve the quality of your life and the quality of life of your loved ones.
I have been a practicing podiatric foot and ankle surgeon for 40 years. Thanks to tremendous advances in medicine, my colleagues and I can provide more options to our patients with increasingly better outcomes.
Today, through a team approach, we use contemporary techniques to treat the diabetic foot.
Despite these improvements, more and more people are being diagnosed with diabetes. Foot and ankle surgeons like me are seeing many more patients with increased complications from this disease.
For most diabetics, though, it is the devastating possibility of limb loss that is of primary concern. The truth is that with proper management of the disease, patient compliance, and early intervention when needed, limb loss is often preventable.
I wrote this book first and foremost for you-someone who lives with diabetes.

He sido un cirujano podiátrico de pie y tobillo durante 40 años. Gracias a enormes avances en la medicina, mis colegas y yo podemos ofrecer más opciones a nuestros pacientes con resultados cada vez mejores.
En la actualidad, a través de un enfoque de equipo, utilizamos técnicas modernas para tratar el pie diabético. A pesar de estas mejoras, cada vez más personas son diagnosticadas con diabetes. Los cirujanos de pie y tobillo como yo estamos viendo a muchos más pacientes con mayores complicaciones por esta enfermedad.
Para la mayoría de los diabéticos, sin embargo, lo que más les preocupa es la posibilidad devastadora de perder una extremidad. La verdad es que con el manejo adecuado de la enfermedad, el cumplimiento del paciente, y la intervención temprana cuando sea necesario, la pérdida de extremidades a menudo se puede prevenir.
Escribí este libro en primer lugar para usted, alguien que vive con diabetes.
La diabetes es una enfermedad de proporciones epidémicas.
Muchos de mis pacientes diabéticos vienen a mí mucho menos informados sobre la enfermedad de lo que se merecen.
A menudo tienen dificultades para darse cuenta de las posibles complicaciones asociadas con la diabetes.
Muchos no se cuidan tanto como deberían.
Quiero darle a usted el poder de hacer todo lo posible para evitar complicaciones innecesarias de la diabetes, incluyendo la temida complicación de perder una extremidad.
Mi objetivo es aumentar la conciencia de cómo la diabetes afecta al pie y al tobillo, y los pasos que usted puede dar para que, juntos, reduzcamos la frecuencia y la extensión de la pérdida de extremidades.
