This is news NO diabetic likes to hear. Larry Miller, who owns the pro basketball team the Utah Jazz, has “had both of his legs amputated 6 inches below the knee.”
Mr. Miller has Type 2 diabetes and has been using a wheelchair even before the surgery. We wish Mr. Miller a speedy recovery. Our thoughts go out to you!

Increased Risk Of Foot Amputations Due To Poor Fitting Shoes

Do your shoes fit? Are you sure? It is very important for diabetics to take proper care of their feet…
More than six out of ten people with diabetes are walking around in the wrong-sized shoes, exposing themselves to serious foot problems that could lead to amputation, according to research in the International Journal of Clinical Practice.
With the amount of diabetics doubling by 2030 we need to do whatever we can to keep ourselves in check especially if they propose that 80% of diabetic amputations could be prevented.
