May is World Foot Health Awareness Month

World Foot Health Awareness Month will be celebrated at the Wits Donald Gordon Medical Centre on Thursday 28th May.

From 09.00 to 12.00 noon, people with diabetes and their families are invited to listen to a talk on diabetes by Dr David Segal and one on the diabetic foot by podiatrist Tracey Johnson. This will be followed by an opportunity to ask questions about diabetes and feet.

If you have diabetes or are family of someone with diabetes – this is for you – so be there!

Sponsored by Sanofi-Aventis; supported by Diabetes SA, I will be there with my colleague Tshidi Tsubane to answer questions too.
