Keep your feet healthy (2010)

Description

This flipchart is part of the Healthy Living NT collection of Indigenous specific diabetes resources. It comes with bright, attractive pictures and is designed to make people aware of the need to keep their feet healthy if they have diabetes. This is because diabetes can cause reduced blood flow to the hands and feet, which can sometimes lead to amputations. Being vigilant about looking after the feet can reduce a person's risk of requiring treatment and amputations.

The flipchart is laminated and spiral bound for easy use.
