Did you know that the percentage of diagnosed diabetes in Canada increased by 70% between 1998 to 2008?
And it's not just an "old person" disease as my students describe adults. In this same time frame, the incidences of diagnosed diabetes doubled for those between 35 - 44 years of age. (Gulp).
I mention this because recently I was a guest on a local talk show, called "Ask the Experts." The goal was to share information about the use of FREMS (Frequency Rhythmic Electronic Modular Stimulation) to treat peripheral neuropathy (PN). Most Canadians who experience PN develop it as a result of diabetes (Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy, or DPN). While I share how FREMS helped to treat chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), my chiropractor, Dr. Moona, also describes the impact of DPN and how FREMS has affected his diabetic patients.
I shared the link to this talk show episode on my personal Facebook page (which is not public). But given the many questions and excited response to that posting, I have decided I need to share this more widely. So here is the link which you can copy and paste below.

If that doesn't work, go to 570 News. Look for the "Audio" link on the menu at the top of the page. Click on the "Ask the Experts" link. Click on the July 11th episode.
IF YOU HAVE FAMILY OR FRIENDS WHO ARE DIABETIC: PLEASE SHARE THIS PAGE WITH THEM. (I don't care about increasing the blog hits. But I do care about raising awareness of this treatment among folks who are struggling with the impact of diabetes and DPN).
Thanks!
