Diabetes and my Feet

April 18th, 2008 by Chris S

I have been lucky to not have any problems with my feet at all yet. However, whenever I go to the beach they become a lot more dry then I can ever remember them getting. This does provide me the opportunity to ask my girlfriend to rub them with some lotion. I’m not just doing it for the free foot massage, which does feel great, but she also knows the complications of diabetes and how it is good for me.

I previously just read something, I can’t remember where, but that wearing sandals, flip flops, whatever you want to call them, is not good for diabetics. Is this true, or has anybody else heard the samething? I don’t wear them that often anyway, only when I go to the beach or don’t have any clean socks :).

It seems like everyday I hear or see something new about a complication, or something I should be doing, or something that I shouldn’t be doing. Any suggestions from anybody?
