How Weighing Yourself Daily Could Save Your Feet -- And Maybe Your Life

PR Log (Press Release) – Jun 27, 2009 – Most people don't think much about their feet, let alone take time to look at them. But, nearly everyone cares about their weight. Now, a remarkable new scale—the Insight Foot Care scale—facilitates daily foot exams when you weigh yourself.

Still, most people are probably wondering why they should check their feet daily. One word: melanoma. This disease can affect anyone and can lead to a foot amputation and even death.  

For those people that have diabetes, the smallest sore, blister, or infection can quickly accelerate to a severe problem or gangrene, and quickly lead to the need for amputation of a toe, the foot, or even the leg. Studies show that one in five diabetics will endure an amputation. Sadly, most of these amputations are preventable, if caught early.

The Insight Foot Care scale makes examining your feet not only easy, but also fun.
