Black patients and Podiatry
Black podiatrists: foot, ankle, and diabetes-related foot care. Black adults face 2-3x higher diabetic amputation rates. Podiatry prevents that outcome.
Black Americans with diabetes are 2 to 3 times more likely to undergo lower-extremity amputation than white Americans with diabetes (CDC, 2022). The majority of those amputations are preventable with consistent podiatric care, early wound treatment, and proper diabetic shoes. Podiatrists (DPMs) treat foot and ankle conditions, perform foot surgery, and are the frontline of diabetes foot-care teams.
