One of the factors to come from our May 15, 2002, Journal of the American Medical Association study was that one-third of the diabetic patients in our study who had problems were not wearing the therapeutic footwear. Another point was that our study patients, on average, wore slippers-not their shoes-three hours per day. A little patience in fitting can reap the benefits of compliance. Fortunately, there is a wider variety of shoes available for people with diabetes than ever before. But one thing will never change: function first over fashion!

en In America, money does not equal speech, ... More money does not entitle one to more speech. The powerful are not entitled to a greater voice in politics than average people. Everyone has an equal say in our government; that's why our Declaration of Independence starts with 'We the people.'
