Acceptance of health treatment claims that are not adequately supported by evidence. I dislike it when people sell ineffective and even harmful alternative health products to exploit the desperation of people with chronic illness.
My feet are cold almost all the time. I wear socks 24/7, lol.

Have you had your thyroid function tested? Under active thyroid can cause cold feet.

My feet are constantly cold - it could be diabetes, thyroid or a circulation problem

Certainly worth having the circulation checked in your feet, as part of your annual diabetes checks your entitled to be seen by a Podiatrist.

Well it's not that then.

Do you find your feet are more cold when you are sitting down/laying down?

If they are I have to wiggle my toes and rotate my ankle in circular motions on and off otherwise my feet get that cold they can become numb.

If you are really concerned about it and you are not getting anywhere with your doctor, I would mention it to your diabetic nurse and they will look further into it.

Ah, the benefits of the sun.
I don't wear socks, just sandles most of the time.
(Ok until I burn my feet)

But yes, since I lost weight, I get cold feet at times.
Then it's time for socks and trainers.
