Hi Erin, I'am relatively new to all this (3 months in) but I consider myself to be very lucky in comparison to some as there are two diabetic nurses at my clinic, they both seem really nice and very knowledgeable. They sorted out the podiatrist, retinography scan and the Desmond course for me at...

Hi and welcome, I don't know where you live but here in the UK it is free and part of the NHS health plan for all diabetics that your feet get checked once a year by a podiatrist. You can make the appointment via your diabetic nurse when you see them. In my case the podiatrist runs a clinic at...
