went to the db nurse, mainly cos i wanted a new BG meter (accu check compact gt) and was pretty annoyed when she handed me one in a opened box, but i also had my feet checked out. she said they were fine and all, no sensation loss etc. but that i had 'typical diabetic feet'; pale, hairless and cold.
i was pretty annoyed, i've only been db for 3 monts and had strict control. i said my feet have always been pale, they're fair skinned like the rest of my body + it was cold this morning and on inspection i do actually have hairy feet!
anyone think there could be any truth to this? + i'm a bit hesitant about using my pricker since it's not brand new.
howie
