[QUOTE="daisy1, post: 237630, member: 25759"] Hi Michelle and welcome to the forum :) Please don't be afraid - what happened to your Dad may not happen to you - everyone is different. I'm just sorry it had to spoil your Christmas. You will find it very helpful that you joined this forum. By getting good control of your diabetes you can help avoid the complications you have seen, although nothing is guaranteed. As for diabetic shoes, you may be able to avoid them if you take great care of your feet. You must however be very careful that your shoes don't rub or give you blisters, especially if you have lost feeling in your feet. I always wear trainers although I know they are not suitable for all occasions. Here is some information to help you. Ask as many questions on here as you need. [/QUOTE]
