Warning: your feet may be killing you - literally. Too often, a person's
walk with diabetes ends with an amputation of a lower limb. I find it
shocking and alarming that in 2015, one person every 20 seconds is
undergoing a lower limb amputation because of their diabetes. Equally
shocking, and yet exciting to me, is the fact that up to 85% of these
could have been avoided. That is why I founded 'Undefeeted' to have an
impact on that statistic, one foot at a time. To achieve that, I have to
get personal with you on an individual basis and help you apply the
principles of Undeefeted by helping you live in what I call the Diabetic
sweet spot. Within the pages of this book, you'll find a step by step
guide to living in the sweet spot. You will learn why it is important to
know how diabetes can affect your feet, what your personal risk is, and
how to act to minimise that risk. Don't let diabetes defeet you.
Instead, take control and continue living an active life doing the
things you enjoy with those you live. STAY UNDEFEETED! Peter Allton, as
a Podiatrist with 26 years' experience, is perfectly positioned to write
this book, having first-hand experience of the devastation that diabetes
can cause to the feet. As someone living with type 2 diabetes himself,
his passion to make a difference was further fanned into flame when his
daughter aged 11 was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. He is the clinical
director of Circle Podiatry (the UK's only multi-award winning private
Podiatry brand) and founder of 'Undefeeted', launched in October 2014
when he spoke on the same stage as Al Pacino and Sylvester Stallone.
