Let's be honest, when your feet hurt you hurt all over! When your feet are not in the best shape you are hard pressed to have a good day. Some of us don't pay attention to any parts of our body south of our waist lines. Well, today Dr. Dionne Crawford is helping us understand how our bodies are connected. We're discussing more then just how diabetes affects our feet. We're talking about how to have healthy feet in general. Join the conversation and learn how by treating your feet you are treating the whole you.You can visit her website here: http://bit.ly/25yr3qgcrawfordfootspa

Her 18 year journey with Diabetes began with a jolt. She recounts leaving the diabetic teaching class and not wanting to eat anything! All she had was a childhood memory of an aunt who would bake them the most decadent cakes but she dare not enjoy them herself because "her sugar" had already begun to stake it's claim on her eyesight and it was trying desperately to see what other organ systems it could claim.But as Donna understood more and more how the body works, and how food is fuel she has managed her diabetes for 18 years now and she is helping others to connect the dots of the role diet and exercise has and in turn she is helping them to live more optimal lives.

You hear all the time from society that you are eating for two. So I thought that was my get out of jail free card. I kicked up my feet and thought I had a license to eat whatever I wanted, now that I was pregnant. But I would soon draw the short straw. I still remember when they called me to tell me I had failed the screening test and I would have to do the 3 hour test. Three hours?! What was I in for? But I learned my lesson and the second pregnancy I knew better!Join us as we talk to Patricia Castillo as she talks about being diagnosed with a unique form of diabetes you only develop in pregnancy, Gestational Diabetes. This unique diagnosis if uncontrolled can lead to an increased risk for Diabetes in the mother and the child later in life.

Have you ever had a conversation with an individual that exhibited amazing discernment? If you answer yes, was that individual 11 years old? We had the privilege of having Maci and Judi Scott sit down in the HouseCall Community to tell their story of Maci being diagnosed with Pediatric type I Diabetes at the age of 4. They share with us what a typical day looks like and how they are educating others. This is the first conversation in our series looking at how Diabetes affects the whole person. Head on over to www.housecallwithdrmac.com and subscribe to the e-newsletter and never miss another conversation.

Some people call it "the sugar", some don't call it anything at all because they are in denial. Well, whatever you call it you need to know how it affects your body. This month we're looking at how Diabetes affects the whole body. We are attempting to connect the dots so you can see how diabetes, uncontrolled can devastate your body. Come on and join the conversations!
