[QUOTE="martinbuchan, post: 6319, member: 718"] Orthotists vary in quality (as do doctos)- this told to me by my own orthotist (also my colleague). I would be forceful in advising that no-one but your orthotist or podiatrist gave you insoles to use in your shoes. Diabetic foot problems have a huge spectrum of difficulty. I am classed as high risk by my team - I am learning a lot on myself. Even if your pain is not much helped the insoles may still be vitally important in preventing deterioration and help to avoid ulcers. Orthotists and podiatrists will not always get the final solution first try- so persevere with them. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
