Jacqueline Baptiste-Savoie - What Is Diabetic Neuropathy?
In this video, Jacqueline Baptiste-Savoie of the Scarborough Health Network talks about diabetic neuropathy.
Neuropathy decreases a patient’s sensations of pressure and pain — especially in the feet.
Patients with neuropathy will step on sharp objects and cut their feet open without even realizing it.
Neuropathy can be a huge problem for patients living with diabetes because they could go a long time before realizing that their feet are cut open, creating a large window of opportunity for bacteria to get into the body and cause infections.
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.
