CHW Speakers' Bureau - FREE Diabetic Foot Seminar February 16, 2011

Do you have Diabetes? CHW East Valley invites you to a free seminar on February 16th from 5:30-6:30 p.m. with Dr. Myron Hansen, a board certified Foot and Reconstructive Rearfoot and Ankle Surgeon.

How does having diabetes affect your feet?

: High blood glucose levels over time can damage nerves and decrease the body’s ability to fight infection.

: When diabetes is not well controlled, it can damage organs and impair the immune system.

You may have an increased risk for developing a diabetic foot if you:

: Have poorly fitting footwear

: Have nerve damage

: Have low circulation

: Have trauma to the foot

: Have infections

: Smoke

Dinner will be provided. For more information about his seminar or to register, please call ResourceLink at 1.877.728.5414 or email resourcelink@chw.edu.
