Not unpleasant . Even if you have neuropathy ( I do ) , the diabetic nurses dont seem to do much more than that . Because I have a blood circulation problem I can get neuropathy from that as well and have had ultrasound doppler scans and CATS scans , again not painful . Podiatrists / chiropidists seem to be in short supply in some areas , so the nurses do the basic tests , provide information and advice .Cheers Hamish</blockquote>
