What happens when a preventable condition sidelines a valued employee for nine months? For more than 37 million Americans living with diabetes, that’s precisely what diabetic foot complications can do—and the impact reaches far beyond the clinic.
In this debut episode of Smart Steps, host Erin Perkins sits down with Dr. Gary Rothenberg, Director of Medical Affairs at Podimetrics, to uncover the hidden cost of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) in the workplace. From long-term disability and extended leave to amputations that can exceed $100,000 per case, these complications are taking a serious toll on employers and employees alike.
You’ll learn:
- What’s at stake when early warning signs are missed
- Why traditional diabetes management often fails the most at-risk patients
- How proactive, at-home care can help employers reduce costs, improve outcomes, and keep their workforce healthier
Learn how the Podimetrics Solution goes beyond point solutions to address the most vulnerable patients, before complications arise.
