Foot-Saving Gadgets

There is also a newly developed screening system that measures how well oxygen is getting to the skin. I’m not surprised that people who have diabetic neuropathy not only have less nitric oxide (which the Anodyne Therapy may reverse) but also less oxygen.

Researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School writing in a recent issue of The Lancet, perhaps the world’s leading medical journal, found that people with diabetic neuropathy have less oxygen available to their skin.

They use a camera to capture images of the feet at different wave lengths. They call their screening method “medical hyperspectral imaging.”

If you have a low oxygen level in your feet, you need to pay special attention to them. Of course, all of us need to check our feet every day.

This gadget to measure the amount of oxygen in your feet isn’t on the market yet. But these four gadgets, all developed quite recently, show that we have come a long way toward preventing and perhaps even reversing diabetic neuropathy.

These gadgets are great. But you are even better.

The best way to prevent neuropathy, of course, is to keep your blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible. You can do it.
