**Know a Diabetic Friend?

Remind Them: Toes Don’t Go Missing by Themselves.**

Diabetes can quietly damage circulation, nerves, and bone, and by the time pain shows up, it’s often late in the game.

For Black Americans, the risk of losing a toe, foot, or leg is three times higher — not because of biology, but because small, preventable problems go unchecked.

This is where you can make a difference.

Tell your friends. Tell your family. Tell anyone you know living with diabetes:

“See your podiatrist. Get your circulation checked. Get your X‑rays. Protect your feet before problems start.”

A simple visit can save a step, a foot, a life.
