Re: Diabetic foot problems
Chemists have very good foot care products . Buy a good one , Scholl is a good make , cream feet regularly . I'm guessing the clinic you went to was nhs,? As I mentioned earlier surgerys won't do feet , and seems the person their wasn't too happy to do you.Re: Diabetic foot problems
Just an update, yesterday i cracked and went to make an appointment at my GP, explained the problem which was deteriorating and was told no appointment for several days.Re: Diabetic foot problems
Hi nom , glad you've got appointment for your feet . Having a foot ulcer is very painful. The podiatrist will help with this , also the anti biotic. Do keep up the appointments you will be more comfortable in the end. Don't forget the foot cream on a regular basis to keep the skin soft on your feet.Re: Diabetic foot problems
Nom, Susan is absolutely right. A one-off appt. is neither here nor there, but if you keep up with follow up treatments you will get on top of it and feel feel so much better. Much better idea than having it become a worse problem later through neglecting it now. And while you're there, you can ask for advice on which are the most appropriate foot creams for you too.Re: Diabetic foot problems
Thanks Susan and Mups,im holding off on the creams until i talk to the podiatrist, as i need the tissue removed and my sore paw bandaged. I will mention the suggestions here to her, and ask for advice.Re: Diabetic foot problems
Re: Diabetic foot problems
I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes in 1998, and so far I do not have any deterioration in my feet, eyes, or anything else.
