MISSISSAUGA #8 FIRST NATION — Former Mississauga #8 First Nation Chief Bob Chiblow is raising awareness of the need to take diabetes more seriously with his cautionary tale after almost losing his foot due to diabetes-related complications.
“I had an issue with my foot a couple of years ago — my sugar was high and I wasn’t taking my pills,” Chiblow says. “I ended up getting a wound and it got infected to a point where there was some dead tissue.”
Chiblow says the dead tissue was cut out and his foot healed back then.
