We believe, Diabetes is preventable and Diabetic Foot Complications are Preventable provided we take proper care and precautions. As a Rotarian, Doctor, and citizen of this Great country, it is our duty to spread awareness about this disease, We hold many free Diabetes Checkup camps in various parts of Mumbai. We give lectures on preventive aspects of this disease at various places and forums like Temples, Gurudwara, Masjids, Rotary meetings, and at various social Get- together. We hold unique PAADA POOJA programs at various places where we teach children and grandchildren of Diabetic patients about the care of the feet. We hold CME for General Practitioners on this topic to help to spread awareness of this Disease.
Most of the Diabetic patients develop neuropathy and vasculopathy. This can lead to loss of sensation in the foot. The blood supply may also be hampered. So taking care of the foot becomes very much important to prevent the complications in the foot.
