Insight Foot Care Scale
Diabetic neuropathy affects the feet and is a common complication of poorly controlled diabetes. The drug works by inhibiting the action of connective tissue growth factor, which helps to reduce damage to the kidney from high blood sugar. The Insight foot care scale is a new product designed to make the task of caring for your feet easier. Essentially, it’s a bathroom scale with a lighted mirror inside that lets you see the soles of your feet more easily—and seeing it sitting in your bathroom can serve as a reminder to perform foot checkups. Foot care is extremely important for people with diabetes—the ADA recommends that you check your feet for cuts or sores daily, and the Insight scale can be a helpful tool to help you meet that goal – much better than using a hand mirror or having to do yoga to see your own feet! The scale is not currently covered by insurance.
