Saving the Diabetic Foot is perhaps the first comprehensive book written exclusively for the patient with diabetes. This book presents steps to prevent amputations in a jargon-free manner, pleasing to both the patient and health care provider alike.     The step-by-step plan in this practical, easy-reading book will help to prevent amputations and save the diabetic foot.      For over a decade, Dr. Ace Anglin has seen the most severe forms of diabetic foot disease.     Since his experiences as a podiatric medical student in Miami, Florida and his residency with the Veterans Administration, he has had the opportunity to view diseases of the foot unimaginable to most practicing physicians.     His experiences have given him medical insight and more importantly compassion for those at risk for amputation.     Discover:   I. The Burden of Diabetes Mellitus in the United States of America.   II. How to Avoid Amputations.   III. Who Dr. Paul Brand was.  IV. What is Hansen s Disease (Leprosy).   V. The Almost forgotten Link between Hansen s Disease & Diabetes Mellitus.
