Episode Details

In this episode Dr. G introduces Limb Watch, a simple framework to recognize early warning signs of diabetic foot disease before they become emergencies. She explains why small changes—warmth, redness, odor, swelling, drainage, pain changes or glucose instability—matter, and how a universal alert system (green, yellow, orange, red) can prompt faster intervention and prevent amputations.

Limb Watch is designed for everyone—patients, caregivers, nurses, podiatrists, nail technicians and communities—and calls for better education, surveillance, and shared accountability to preserve limbs through earlier recognition and timely action.
