Blue Mountain Health System will offer a talk on Diabetic Wounds of the Lower Extremities at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 1 at the Hyperbaric and Wound Care Center/Conference Center, Sixth and Iron streets, Lehighton.

Diabetes increases the risk of developing a wide range of foot problems. If you have diabetes and develop foot ulcers, you may not even be aware of it until it's too late because of poor foot circulation and neuropathy, which masks the pain. Untreated foot ulcers can eventually require amputations.Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment has been shown to be an effective method for treating diabetic foot wounds in some cases.Register by calling New Seasons at (610) 377-7070.
