Every 3 minutes one person in Canada is diagnosed with diabetes. Chances are that diabetes affects you or someone you know.

To gain insights into the complex relationship between lymphedema and diabetes, you might be interested in reading this 2019 open access article from Frontiers in Physiology. It summarizes recent advances in the field, discussing how lymphatic abnormality promotes obesity and insulin resistance, and, conversely, how the metabolic syndrome impairs lymphatic function. It also discusses lymphatic biology in metabolically dysregulated diseases, including type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and myocardial infarction.

Today, on International Podiatry Day, we recognize and thank podiatrists for the vital role they play in keeping us on our feet. Feet do a whole lot for us as humans: from carrying our entire body weight to carrying any extra load we carry, like groceries and other heavy materials. Feet are the foundation for the entire body in terms of support, balance, posture, and overall well-being, so we need to take care of them.

For those living with lymphedema, especially in the lower extremities, proper footcare is essential. Healthy feet not only support mobility but also help prevent complications and improve quality of life.

Thank you to podiatrists everywhere for your dedication to foot health and for the difference you make in the lives of people living with lymphedema. 💙👣
