520    This book is presented in both English and Spanish.  I 
       have been a practicing podiatric foot and ankle surgeon 
       for 40 years. Thanks to tremendous advances in medicine, 
       my colleagues and I can provide more options to our 
       patients with increasingly better outcomes.  Today, 
       through a team approach, we use contemporary techniques to
       treat the diabetic foot.  Despite these improvements, more
       and more people are being diagnosed with diabetes. Foot 
       and ankle surgeons like me are seeing many more patients 
       with increased complications from this disease.  For most 
       diabetics, though, it is the devastating possibility of 
       limb loss that is of primary concern. The truth is that 
       with proper management of the disease, patient compliance,
       and early intervention when needed, limb loss is often 
       preventable.  I wrote this book first and foremost for you
       -someone who lives with diabetes.  Diabetes is a disease 
       of epidemic proportions.  Many of my diabetic patients 
       come to me far less informed about the disease than they 
       deserve.  They often have a difficult time realizing the 
       possible complications associated with diabetes.  Many do 
       not take care of themselves as well as they should.  My 
       goal is to increase awareness of how diabetes affects the 
       foot and ankle and to reduce the frequency and extent of 
       limb loss.  I want to empower you to do everything 
       possible to avoid unnecessary complications from diabetes,
       including the dreaded complication of limb loss.
