The Diabetes show exists to serve 2 key purposes. Firstly to raise people’s awareness of the seriousness of the disease and its complications and secondly give hope to those living with it by empowering them to live as safely as possible with better blood glucose control and in the case of Type 2 even reverse it. Guests will range from experts in their field be it medicine, nutrition, fitness, and you the person living every day with the disease. Sometimes we will inspire you, motivate you and probably sometimes scare you but we promise always to give you value in return for the gift of your time listening to us. Got a question for us –just let us know and we’ll endeavor to answer it both personally and on air on a subsequent week. (Remember no question is a silly one, if you're wondering what is the answer, guaranteed there will be other listeners also wondering the same thing.)

Equally shocking is the fact that up to 85 % could be avoided.Undefeeted exists to help prevent these avoidable lower limb amputations by educating people with diabetes on the risks ,helping them come to terms with the risk they are at and then empowering them to act to prevent future complications that can so easily lead to such devastating an action as amputation happening.Our ultimate goal is to help you as a person with diabetes (and indeed those of you who may be pre diabetic) to be able to continue leading a normal active life for many years to come doing the things you enjoy with those you love.Just stop and think how an amputation would affect your life.Whether you have diabetes or not please visit www.undefeeted.org and put your name behind our campaign.

In particular, I have been very impressed by the effectiveness of the custom-made shoe inserts you provided for me following the series of tests that you carried out. As you know, the pains in my feet caused by spinal stenosis ceased within a few days of starting to use the inserts five months ago and have not recurred. There has also been a significant reduction in the pain in my right knee, the cause of which is osteoarthritis as well as spinal stenosis. Thank you for helping to improve my quality of life.Dr D. Swallow.I visited Circle Podiatry with a very painful foot that had caused me to limp for many months. Not only did the Podiatrist cure my foot problem, he also discovered the reason for my 20 something years of chronic back pain. I was prescribed shoe inserts and now walk without pain in my foot or back – truly a life-changing experience! Mrs. Clerkson, an extremely happy customer!
