[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 939492, member: 43498"] I used to regularly see a podiatrist for ingrown toenail issues, which cleared up when I lost weight (she said extra weight means a tighter space for the nail to try and grow correctly). She often told me how important it was to check my feet every day and to always check shoes for tiny stones before putting them on. I said but my BGs are good - she said that regardless, I should be just as careful as any other diabetic because in her experience foot problems can happen without warning even to those with good BGs. I haven't really taken her advice seriously until now but with what I've read on the forum I think it's better to be safe than sorry. [/QUOTE]
