Welcome to another episode of Diabetic Foot Files, hosted by Dr. G, where we dive deep into the intricate world of diabetic foot care. In this segment of Tissue Talk Thursdays, we explore the crucial role that tendons play in the biomechanics of diabetic feet, shedding light on the often-overlooked issue of tendon glycation.

We zero in on the Achilles tendon, plantar fascia, and other tendons critical to foot movement, explaining how and why they become compromised in diabetics. Dr. G breaks down the science behind glycation and offers practical, at-home exercises to enhance flexibility and reduce the risk of foot complications.
