[QUOTE="Stretford Ender, post: 2368646, member: 537685"] Hi All Diagnosed back in Jan and with the pandemic, I tend to speak with NHS staff via telephone calls as opposed to in person which can sometimes be difficult. Some NHS staff can be very helpful. Others seem to be very painful. So my local GP diabetic nurse phoned me Wednesday for my first assessment. She asked my readings and said I was managing them really well. for the remainder of the phone call she spoke about type 1 and feet. I mean she really liked talking about type 1 and feet. she told me I must check and moisturise them every day. I must always wear sandals to the beach and slippers in doors I must never go feet first into the bath and always reverse into the water (I’m a shower kind of guy anyhoo). a type 1 she once knew stood on a pin once with no slippers on and had a bad time After the discussion she explained she will speak to me once a year to see how I am and that was that. So before I start falling backwards into a bath tub, I wanted to check with some actual type 1’s on how they go about managing their feet and to be honest, what on earth am I looking for? thanks in advance!
