Concerned About What Can Happen To You Feet

It's great to be aware of complications such as neuropathy which can affect your feet.
As with many complications, this is caused by prolonged periods of high BG damaging small blood cells.
These small cells may be in your eyes, kidneys, nerve endings and more.
It is the nerve ending small cells at your feet which causes neuropathy.

As you are newly diagnosed type 1, this is very very unlikely to be a problem for you today.
To reduce the risk, the story is the one you are probably getting fed up of hearing: manage your BG levels.
In addition, look after your feet. Make sure you check them regularly for blisters, etc.

Diabetes UK probably explains this better than I: https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/complications/feet/taking-care-of-your-feet

Low blood sugars won't do anything bad to your feet - well unless when you're low you hurt your feet by bashing into stuff or walking on sharp stuff

One thing which comes under the heading of looking after your feet is don't walk around bear foot slippers are a good idea also if you do develop neuropathy and that is unlikely with well controlled BG it is best to carry out self examination regularly.
