(upbeat music) - I am a big advocate for diabetics, having a podiatrist in their life. Being diabetic, it is a covered service under your insurance. How myself and the other advocates can help with this, if you need help getting an appointment arranged, either call on your behalf, call with you, get you set up with that appointment.

If you need help getting transportation to that appointment and you have a service, we can help you get that arranged, or if you need to find one, we can help look for local transportation in your area as well. You need to get in with a podiatrist or a wound care center.

A lot of wound care centers have a podiatrist, making sure that your sugars are under control if you need to see a dietician or a nutritionist. So it's just getting you in touch with those resources. (upbeat music)
