On Oct. 2, students from Temple's School of Podiatry will walk for patients who can't walk for themselves in the 5K Walk Out event in Philadelphia. "We have partnered as Temple Podiatry with the American Diabetes Association to raise awareness for the devastating effects of diabetes, especially in the lower extremities," said Temple podiatrist Kathya Zinszer. Third year student Ben Tehrani explained why the feet are so vulnerable to diabetes patients: "A lot of diabetics have poor vascularization in their feet and down to their toes. And they also have peripheral neuropathy, which means they can't feel their feet when they are walking. They may step on something and may not heal."
