–          Foot care education;

–          Instruction and assistance with the wearing of proper fitting diabetic shoes and inserts;

–          And early detection and treatment of diabetic foot problems.

Sharon Pettigrew is our podiatry technician and a native of middle Georgia.  She started in the medical field in Columbus, GA in 1991, and subsequently moved to Macon, GA in 1997.  She has been in the field of podiatry since 1995.  She has formal training from Boston University in podiatry and is certified in diabetic shoe fitting.

Sharon joined The Jones Center in 2007, to help start up our foot care program.  She continues to complement our comprehensive care center, and provides exceptional support for our providers, in caring for our diabetic patients.

Diabetes

Diabetes is a disease that affects your body’s ability to produce or use insulin. Insulin is a hormone. When your body turns the food you eat into energy (also called sugar or glucose), insulin is released to help transport this energy to the cells.

Thyroid

The thyroid, located in your neck, is a large endocrine gland that regulates your metabolism. It produces two main hormones to fulfill this role.
