[QUOTE="hennypenny, post: 98419, member: 20329"] hi, your DN was on a bit of a power trip. long term T1 or T2 usually with a history of poor control and have moderate/severe neuropathy with/out ischeamia do get typically defined characteristics, such as severe neuropathy can cause numbness, high arches, clawing toes, and may be cold but can also be very warm and sweaty. with ischeamia, feet can be cold, dry, not sweaty, and if lacking hair is because the circulation is so poor it can't sustain the hair any longer. but these are the descriptions of feet usually quite a way down the line often with other issues as well. newly diagnosed T2 can often had neuropathy on diagnosis due to the lenght of time they may have gone on unnoticed but i have never heard of T1 being diagnosed with problems and problems only start early if there is very poor control. Don't always listen to DN or GP' about feet go see a podiatrist. no 2 feet are the same and that includes your own and skin colour, temp, hairyness is individual so only worry if your feet change from there norm. from your nurses description i have diabetic and i'm not even diabetic! (my son is though) hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
