Re: Severe Diabetic Foot Ulceration
What's so sad is that a lot of diabetics can't feel the pain of ulcerations on the bottom of their feet, and depending on their age, can no longer get into a position to look at the bottom of their foot.

Re: Severe Diabetic Foot Ulceration
Then, follow your nose...it always knows! Seriously though, a diabetic who really cares about controlling their blood sugar will not only be able to prevent this from happening, but ALSO will lose weight and be able to examine those feet. Since my diagnosis 4 mos. ago, I check my blood sugar about 4-8 times a day and in 4 months have lost over 40 lbs. I hate seeing how people eat junk and suck down sodas, knowing what I know. Diabetes is such a life-altering disease. |

Re: Severe Diabetic Foot Ulceration
Wrong. Not everyone is like that. My first husband's feet were so sensitive, he couldn't walk barefoot on the carpet.
