[QUOTE="eurowill, post: 6294, member: 6322"] I am 87 years old, and have only had type 2 for about 2 years, I have it completely controlled, but it is affecting my feet, I have great discomfort in walking, it is though I am walking on stones all the time, and I have never met another person with this condition. I have seen a specialist, who said that nothing could be done, as literally, I am walking on the bones, as all the padding has worn away, also, the soft part of the flesh underneath the toes is always sore. I can only wear trainers, that cost quite a lot of money, and wearing slippers does not make an iota of difference. I would like to hear from anyone who has found a relief from this problem. [/QUOTE]
