I am not long diagnosed type 2 and think my feet are okaybut signed up for firewalk for local hospice. Any thoughts? We get training and it’s all very organised
I would say go for it, and enjoy it - so long as your shoes are broken in and comfortable, and your socks don’t rub.
have you had a foot check at your doctors? All diabetics are supposed to get them annually, I believe, but it doesn’t always happen. So long as you don’t have any neuropathy, or other foot issues, then walking is excellent exercise. Enjoy!
oops - assumed Firewalk was to do with it being firebrigade related!
Thanks!
sooo, @annmaried please ignore what i said about socks and shoes And exercise.
have you mentioned your diabetes to the organisers? They may have a list of excluded medical conditions, and if diabetes is on it, then they won’t let you do the walk because of their insurance.
If this does involve walking over hot coals then I think it is madness for anyone with Diabetes to partake, I would not do it even if I were non Diabetic.
Yes madness is there !! Think it’s okay and my feet have been checked for neuropathy- it’s to raise funds for ACCORD hospice but for precaution will get GO advice, thanks for comments
