Tampa Podiatrist, Alec Baldwin & Pre-Diabetes?
You must be thinking, what an odd combination! Well the three are closely related. Dr. Marc Katz, a Tampa podiatrist, counsels patients each day in his practice about pre-diabetes, diabetes and their relationship to foot and general health.
Katz notes that sometimes it takes a famous person like Alec Baldwin to make people aware of important life changing medical conditions. Baldwin was diagnosed with pre-diabetes and became aware of the serious consequences of his condition. Katz notes that pre-diabetes and diabetes have reached epidemic proportions with 79 million Americans having elevated blood sugars. These elevated blood sugars are the precursor to type II diabetes, a limb and life threatening disease. The podiatrists sees these patients on a daily basis for regular and prevention. However, all too often patients with diabetes and pre-diabetes are not as lucky as Alec Baldwin. They end up with infections that can lead to loss off toes, feet, legs and even death. Many also have kidney and eye problems as well. Neuropathy can cause loss of sensation and lead to falls.
With all of the education out there, people are still eating way too many carbohydrates and drinking soda with high fructose corn syrup. Katz notes that these are direct ticket to the front of the diabetes line. When you are told that you are pre-diabetic, that should be the wake-up call. Start dieting and reduce weight, increase exercise and avoid simple sugars, simple carbohydrates and start eating more high quality protein. Also get serious about portion control, says Katz.

Tampa Podiatrist: MarShon Brooks Out with Broken Toe and Achilles Injury
The New Jersey Nets are without their rookie MarShon Brooks because of a broken or fractured pinky toe! What happened to the myth that ". its only a broken toe, tape it". Well a broken toe can be debilitating and that's why Tampa podiatrist, Marc Katz urges his patients to be treated for toe injuries.
MarShon Brooks has not had the greatest foot luck of late. He recently missed three games with an Achilles injury. His talent was sorely missed as he is averaging 14.8 points per game, the second best in the NBA behind rookie, Kyrie Irving.
The Nets seem to be having their share of foot injuries. Brook Lopez is out for 6-8 weeks with a broken foot that required foot surgery.
Dr. Katz notes that these injuries also occur frequently in the casual weekend warrior athlete. He commonly sees foot fractures, plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis and arch strain. In many cases following treatment, his patients are fitted with orthotics to correct their foot function and alignment.
For more information, you can visit Dr. Katz's main website and his website for advanced treatments for heel and Achilles pain.

Tampa Podiatrist: CDC Amputations Falling Dramati
The CDC has announced the falling rate of lower extremity amputations in those with diabetes. There are so many factors involved but I want to tell you about Podiatrists being one of the major players.
Podiatrists have made it their goal to do everything possible to prevent foot and leg amputations. This is the big feather in their cap. Each day podiatrists participate in the Medicare shoe program to prevent amputations. Podiatrists are key players treating ulcers and taking pressure off of the foot and not just giving up and amputating feet or legs. They are a major component of the limb salvage team, saving peoples limbs and lives while saving the healthcare system millions of dollars.
