Today is World Diabetes Day. This year’s theme, “Breaking Barriers, Bridging Gaps,” highlights the importance of equitable access to care for everyone living with diabetes. At BioPed, we are committed to reducing risks associated with diabetes through preventive foot care, foot risk assessments and protective solutions, such as proper footwear.

Our goal is to help every Canadian maintain happy, healthy feet and reduce the risk of serious diabetes-related complications. When feet are cared for, mobility is protected—and with mobility comes independence, confidence, and quality of life.

BioPed is proud to be learning from leaders who shape the future of our profession. Carson Le, D.Ch. and Cynthia Li, D.Ch. continue to inspire, mentor, and elevate Chiropody across our clinics—and we are honoured to have them guiding our clinical growth.

This session was part of our ongoing Footcare Education Program, where we work alongside Footcare Nurses to strengthen best practices, deepen understanding of gait-related pathology, and share innovative clinical resources. Together, we’re creating a stronger, more connected footcare community dedicated to improving patient outcomes.

We are also deeply grateful for our remarkable partnership with Ruth Ruttan & Associates, whose dedication to excellence strengthens the way we care for our patients and support our practitioners.

Here’s to continued collaboration, shared learning, and driving our profession forward.

We can’t wait to welcome everyone back together again at the 2026 BioPed National Conference.
