Feet!

[Marfmama]

Recently I have noticed my feet looking very pale whilst my toes are red - is this poor circulation? Should I be concerned? Thanks!

If you ever have any doubts about your feet you need to see hcp or if you can see podiatry better to be safe than sorry

My podiatrist said my feet are really good, good circulation, but she said any problems like funny colours and tingling or any cuts that won't heal, she said I had to get a doctors appointment straight away, any doubt just go to docs as you only get one pair of feet, same with your eyes.

Good advice from your Podiatrist.

Thanks for the replies - I often get tingling when ive had a change in sugar levels but the colour change is new! I dont have a podiatrist - is that something you have arranged yourself snd pay privately for?

You should be referred for monitoring/treatment on the NHS. DSN should be able to help you or GP

No I don't go private, as part of your diabetes care plan your entitled to have your feet examined every 12 months. I use to get mine checked when I attended the diabetes clinic as a Podiatrist was always there and would see you after speaking with the consultant, however they stopped it for some reason so I now see the podiatrist through my gp practise.
