[QUOTE="Ushthetaff, post: 2368719, member: 429002"] I think you DSN is trying to tell you that it is important to look after your feet ! In her own special way. it is important to make sure we as diabetics look after our feet , I know all too well the consequences I lost my right leg due to dropping a hammer on my toe, however , the reason for this wasn’t because I didn’t look after my feet it was because I didn’t look after my blood sugars. This made cuts bruises bumps take a lot longer to heal and in the case of my foot it basically didn’t heal, since losing my leg and now totally looking after my sugars , I’ve had the odd bump cut. I even had a blister on my foot ( due to a rubbing boot ) however this time it healed perfectly , so good foot hygiene is great but it must go hand in glove with good blood control, which you seem to be achieving so as long as that continues you’ll have no probs .
