It’s World Diabetes Day! It’s also Sir Frederick Banting’s birthday – the co-discoverer of insulin! Did you know that diabetes can severely affect your feet?

Dr. Caroline Leverett, our Podiatrist, specializes in diabetic management and offers expert care to protect your feet!

If you’d like to make an appointment with Dr. Leverett, please call our New Minas location at 902-681-0202 or for more information visit http://www.family1st.ca/foot-care-podiatry.html
