Message: <blockquote data-quote="jhon99" data-source="post: 186415" data-attributes="member: 23798">Hi my father aged 58, has developed diabetes sores on ALL his toes on both feet. He is currently using  Epaderm Emollient. And has been refereed to see a foot specialist in 3 weeks time. He also suffers from diabetes related nerve damage in feet so can not walk for more then a few minutes. His blood glucose levels are under control for 95% of time  (for the last 10 months) due to extremely strict, healthy, nutritious,  diet. he doesn't drink, smoke, or eat any unhealthy food.He looks after his feet, wears trainers in the house, washes his feet twice a day, so I am surprised he has got sores.So my question to people who have experience of diabetes sores is; 1) will the sores get better i.e. completely vanish ? 2) or will things go down hill ? ie will organs start to fail, will he die? what is the worst case scenario?Any help or advice will be gratefulPLEASE BE BRUTALLY HONEST, DON'T BE DIPLOMATIC- . </blockquote>
