A few holes in this story maybe, not saying type 1 or 2, antibiotics for athletes foot is not the way to treat that, it is the way to treat a bacterial infection for a diabetics foot problem?

Dont read the comments if you suffer from high blood pressure :crazy:

Still a minefield of victim blaming, diabetic stereotyping and misinformation.

I was bothered with Athletes Foot up until a few years ago and never was given antibiotics, such a shame for someone to lose part of a limb through negligence

Isn't it just. It's also a problem where some diabetic patients don't get the tests they are entitled to. I went to look at a house recently, really nice and would have been ideal. We decided against due to it being out of the catchment area of my brilliant surgery. I simply will not trade good health care for anything.
