Treating Diabetic Ulcer Patients – Top Docs Radio

Treating Diabetic Ulcer Patients - Top Docs Radio

Treating Diabetic Ulcer Patients

According to recent data from the CDC, diabetes affects over 25.8 million people in the US (roughly 8% of the population). Coupled with data that shows another 79 million persons in the US have pre-diabetes (A1C levels above normal) or 35% of the population. Obviously, it’s a serious problem. Diabetes is a major contributor to stroke, heart disease and peripheral vascular disease (PAD). Roughly 1:6 diabetics will develop a diabetic ulcer on their foot or lower extremity and many of them will ultimately require amputation of part of the foot or leg. After amputation for an ulcer, studies have shown diabetics’ 5 year mortality rates rise significantly — to as high as 45-60%. It is critical that these patients receive rapid, aggressive care from a spectrum of specialists who must each address the various factors contributing to the ulcer.

Our guests this week include three such specialists who treat diabetic ulcer patients in their practice every day. They will give insight about the role they play in saving the diabetic ulcer patient’s limb (and possibly their life).

Rich Parlontieri/Speedemissions

Speedemissions is a 14-year old company that was among the first to develop and build the emission-test-only store in Atlanta. They’ve grown to 43 location in four major cities: Atlanta, Houston, St. Louis and Salt Lake City. In 2010, they developed CARbonga, the first iPhone app for consumers to diagnose their own vehicles for emission problems and more. That app was followed up with CARbonga-SRI, a revolutionary iPhone app that provides details about a car’s safety recall status and technical services bulletins. Most recently, they have been piloting an emissions repair model that has lead to re-branding the company with two new brands: Expresso Emissions and Expresso Car Care Café. The names, logo design and store were just introduced in mid- January. In addition, they just signed a joint venture, Retail Vehicle Registration, to provide the consumer with an easy way to renew their vehicle registration without the hassle of a DMV.
