This daily average has dropped to approximately 2,000 leading to diseases and conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) to name a few. The increased rate of childhood obesity and related Type II diabetes is staggering. With it comes complications which, if left untreated and undiagnosed, can lead to serious complications for your feet and legs.
