Book Reviews of Keep the Legs You Stand On
Book Review: Outstanding reference on foot care.
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr. Hinkes Book "Keep the Legs You Stand On" is the finest source of information for keeping your lower extremities in sound and proper working order that one could hope for. The title is so meaningful for me as I have already lost one of them.
Having lived with Diabetes and Charcot Joint (foot) for several years, I only wish I had learned earlier what Dr. Hinkes has taught me recently. My left foot collapsed with this disease five years ago resulting in a below the knee amputation.
The good doctor is treating me now for a similar condition with my right foot. Recurring diabetic foot ulcers have plagued me for several years. This condition is covered thoroughly in this book explaining explicitly how to detect and treat, and when to seek help from a physician.
As I understand, the book was originally intended for professionals, but expanded so as to be understood by the layperson. Very, very important information. If you are having foot problems, don't put it off! Buy this book.

Summary of Keep the Legs You Stand On
Dr. Mark Hinkes could not help enough people with diabetes fast enough. Amputation due to complications from diabetes is an international problem affecting people all over the globe "Every day I see people losing legs needlessly, and I see the pain both physical and mental about this and how it changes peoples lives mostly for the worse." This is the first educational book of its kind to motivate patients with diabetes, the parents of children with diabetes, and their caregivers to understand that amputation prevention is the issue of silent or painless trauma and how to become partners with their healthcare providers to enjoy the best quality of life.Diabetes Books
