Message: <blockquote data-quote="AdamJames" data-source="post: 1805253" data-attributes="member: 459333">I was told to always wear shoes at home, because it's important to avoid accidental cuts from things I may stand on as they are more likely to get infected if my blood sugar is high, and also I may be less aware of cuts due to less sensitive feet.But I think it's more important to understand the reasoning behind the advice, rather than just follow the advice.In my case, I am prone to athletes foot which can cause cracks in the skin, so I continue to go barefoot / socks-only in the house as that has prevented me getting athletes foot for years, and I think it makes even more sense to carry on doing that now that I have T2, and currently no issues with lack of foot sensitivity.</blockquote>
