[QUOTE="Grant_Vicat, post: 1891963, member: 388932"] Hi [USER=383608]@daisy22[/USER] I had Type 1 for 54 years ending in a kidney/pancreas transplant 5 years ago. Ironically I started to have sharp pain straight through the ankle at a diagonal, only 2 months after stopping insulin. I was told it was Charcot foot and that it was a diabetic complication. I have had prescribed orthotic shoes ever since. Regularly I wear normal shoes around the house, which have helped to strengthen the muscles. I have been advised to use orthotics whenever I am away from even surfaces, in other words anywhere I might twist my ankle. Most people are totally unaware that I have had a problem. I hope you fare at least as well as I have. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
