[QUOTE="RuthW, post: 1196316, member: 148713"] I'll rely on my endo's advice, thanks, Torq. He expressed delight at my shoes and socks last time he saw them. I have to say that your post in response to mine was so pompously self-righteous that it was laugh-out-loud funny. First of all, in what universe do you live where everyone has access to personalized gait/stride/pronation studies? Second, where are the actual long-term, or even short-term studies that show that given a critique of their gait, people can, in statistically significant numbers, actually achieve a beneficial change in it. Do you realize that a lot of diabetics have gait problems as a complication of their diabetes? Do you realize that home blood testing has only been around for just over twenty years, that training about self-management has been widely available for less than ten years and therefore quite a lot of T1s may find your self-righteousness as ignorant as it is offensive. Thirdly, what do you propose in reality? I should get my shoes hand made on an individual last? Oh, only I don't do the lottery. Fourth, you're a newbie. You're barely even diagnosed. You are a young, fit guy who has been doing sports all your life and presumably your feet had already toughened up before your T1 started. Fifth, you forgot to suggest Botox for my feet to stop them sweating, as that is what causes the problem for me, as I pointed out. But, you know what? A more simple, practical, useful, accessible, and safer solution for blisters, and one recommended by many sports coaches, is simple strapping with surgical tape at potential stress points prior to walking or running. There was research published about it in the last month or so, as I remember. Try to restrain yourself with the 'shoulds'. Every time I read a 'should' on this forum, it is unsupportive and bullying and untrue. [/QUOTE]
