Jacqueline Baptiste-Savoie - Can A Patient Living With Diabetes Get A Pedicure?
Jacqueline Baptiste-Savoie of the Scarborough Health Network is dead-set against patients who are living with diabetes getting pedicures.
The chances of getting a cut during a pedicure are too high for Jacqueline to feel comfortable allowing her patients to get them.
Feet with cuts can lead to infection which can lead to amputations.
We know you want your feet to look pretty, but if you get a pedicure you could lose your feet altogether.
The Scarborough Health Network has sponsored the creation of over a hundred educational videos for type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease.

In 2022, this YouTube channel was rebranded as Manitoba Moonshot.
The Manitoba Moonshot is a front-row seat watching one Canadian family trying to end type 2 diabetes.
This channel will highlight stories from the Lautt family, ask tough questions about access to health care for marginalized communities, and feature exclusive interviews with Canadians from all walks of life — especially those living with type 2 diabetes.
