In this issue of Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, guest editors Drs. Brandon Brooks, Bijan Najafi, and David Armstrong bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Diabetes Update: What You Need to Know. Diabetes mellitus, particularly Type 2 diabetes, has emerged as one of the most pressing global health challenges of the 21st century, driven by factors such as obesity, sedentary lifestyles, and aging populations. In this issue, top experts provide pearls of knowledge and wisdom for podiatric physicians and surgeons who treat and manage patients with diabetes mellitus.

The third edition of Clinical Care of the Diabetic Foot has been fully revised and updated, and continues to be the essential handbook on foot care and the treatment of the diabetic foot. The diabetic foot is typically the victim of nerve damage, micro- and macrovascular disease, and faulty healing, mechanisms that without proper care can lead to amputation. More than 80,000 diabetes-related amputations are performed in the United States each year, but non-specialist primary care providers, as well as residents, nurses, and diabetes educators, can help prevent this devastating, life-altering, and expensive complication. Healthcare professionals and medical students alike will find that this concise, well-indexed, and updated guide offers practical advice on detecting and managing diabetes-related foot complications.
