[QUOTE="MauzaM, post: 1492017, member: 99758"] My granny born in 1900 had T2 diabetes for many years. Back in the 80's when she was in her 80's she was being looked after by an NHS community podiatrist who made home visits. Gran had developed a sore on her foot. The podiatrist never had this investigated until gran had full blown gangrene. She ended up having her leg cut off below the knee. Moral of the story the NHS is no worse now in the 21st century than it was back in the 80's. We remain dependent on the attention or lack of , of our health service practitioners. Regular visits to a private practicioner to have our feet looked after is money well spent if it prevents neuropathy or worse. [/QUOTE]
