Re: Diabetic foot problems
My Dad had type 1 diabetes from the age of 21-89. He took great care of his feet visiting a chiropodist regularly.He maintained sticking to a diet was very important helping to keep his condition under control and his body (including his feet ) healthy.
He lost a big toe in his 70s and had leg ulcers in later life but I think he did very well all things considered

Re: Diabetic foot problems
Type II diabetic for around 15 years and no problems at all. I don't do anything special other than flex my toes a lot every time I am sitting or as I am in bed waiting to fall asleep. My toes seem a bit sensitive to the friction of the quilt at times, and sometimes get slightly chilly in bed, but through the day they are fine.13-04-2015, 03:28 PM
