MANAGING DIABETES BEGINS WITH EDUCATION AND SCREENINGS

posted: May 10, 2019.

In observance of National Diabetes Awareness Month, CarolinaEast Health System offered a free foot screening last November and was pleased with the interest and feedback. “It is possible to successfully manage a diagnosis of diabetes, and it all begins with education and screenings,” says James G. Underhill, DPM with CarolinaEast Physicians. “Individuals living with diabetes must learn about their condition and know how to take care of themselves, as well as know when to see a professional. I am pleased to offer this service again for those who may not know the importance of foot care when it comes to managing diabetes,” he added.
