PROBLEM: About 80% of diabetes-related limb amputations could have been prevented if the patient had been advised to have -- and was compliant with having -- an annual preventive foot examination that included foot screening for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and peripheral artery disease (PAD). SOLUTION: If you are a concerned patient who has diabetes and would like information about working with your community health care providers to help develop amputation prevention projects, send an email to receive no obligation information. information@leapalliance.org Both volunteer and compensated time can be arranged. <<< ATTENTION LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL (LCI) VOLUNTEERS: The LEAP Alliance is a recognized community partner helping local clubs worldwide to provide the,"Lions Hunt for Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) and “Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Free Foot Screening Program." Lion Kalu Confidence is the LEAP Alliance Lions Programs Coordinator.<<<

Specially constructed, perfectly fit, friction and pressure reducing diabetic shoes and inserts can lower the odds of foot and leg amputations by up to 80% in at-risk patients. Yet the average diabetic person has little or no knowledge of their importance, let alone assistance in how they can go about finding out if they are at-risk of foot complications and then obtaining the shoes. That is why the LEAP Alliance is advocating for the creation of community-based free diabetes foot screening events and clinics. Let's screen, assess risk, and help those who need these customized shoes and inserts get them. To help make this happen in your community, email the LEAP Alliance for more information>> information@leapalliance.org.

Treating plantar warts can be time-intensive and painful for patients. A 2022 study found that using a 1064 nm laser with cooling achieved an 84% cure rate in just 3.6 sessions on average. The Apex Laser offers the same capability, targeting warts with precise thermal energy to destroy the viral infection while minimizing discomfort. Benefit to Your Clinic: Offer a pain-managed treatment option for verruca that converts skeptical patients into loyal advocates. Your clinic becomes the go-to provider for tough-to-treat conditions. What would 84% treatment success do for your patient retention?
