"San Antonio Faces Looming Diabetes Crisis, Local Doctor Warns"

A local doctor in San Antonio warns of a diabetes crisis as more people in Bexar County face amputations due to complications with the chronic disease, which affects over 13 percent of the population. One patient, Carlos Aguilar, narrowly avoided amputation with the help of Dr. Michael Sobolevsky at the Texas Diabetes Institute. Dr. Sobolevsky emphasizes the importance of seeking medical attention for non-healing wounds, stressing that amputations can be preventable with good care. Aguilar urges others to prioritize their health and follow their doctors' advice, while the doctor hopes to see fewer amputations in the future.
