I've had bad feet since before my type 2 diagnosis a few months back and it's getting worse. I'm due for my first big appointment next week but I'll go back to my doctor first. He had prescribed Naproxen for my feet but at the surgery last week I was told that another doctor would not issue a...

When I told my GP about my feet he thought it was to do with my weight. However, over the summer I wore sandals and that made it worse! What has helped is wearing sensible shoes but my feet still worry me and my legs seem to ache constantly. I do hope your OH gets a good response from his GP.

Yes, I get it on my back and in particular my legs and tender bits! I find exercise and drinking loads of water really help.

Never eat more than you can safely lift!

Thanks all.

Thanks.

Thanks to all for the welcome.

That's interesting. I recently had an operation and was put on a high dose of cocodomol afterwards. I had issues with my feet then, being a gout sufferer I out it down to that but at the same time gave up smoking and eat more with probably a higher salt content in my diet. Now I'm being more...

I'm newly diagnosed and have been taking metforfin for just over a week last night I noticed my feet were swollen.

Diagnosed with type2 last week. Been on tablets since then but my feet have swollen again. I say again because that was the original reason for my visit to the doctor before I was diagnosed. Is this typical?

Diagnosed last week. Have been feeling pretty poor for a time. So it's type 2 being treated with tablets and diet. The doctor was very, very good, explained a lot, gave me a booklet and blood testing gadget and showed me how to use it. Still a bit shocked about it but assume I'll come to terms...
