My father is diabetic and often complaints about foot problems. What kind of footwear is better for him?
Diabetes can cause numbness in the extremities leading to minor wounds or cuts being neglected. Also, healing of wounds is often hampered. The result of this is that very small wounds can fester and get ulcers or become gangrenous.
Footwear for diabetics should therefore be protective outside, i.e they should be closed and prevent feet from getting hurt or bruised. At the same time they should be spacious enough inside and amply cushioned to prevent soreness or hemorrhages occurring inside. (

Any one suffering with diabetic foot disorders?
HI Is there anyone who has diabetic feet problem? My mom has been having numbness, tingling and burning sensation in her feet for a while. I was wondering if anyone can help with some suggestions on how to take care of it or how you are coping with it.What has made you get relief or better? Thank you so much for you help in advance
----------
I am quite serious. I work for a non-profit that focuses on Diabetes health and awareness. Also, my father, who has diabetes, started having foot issues last year. He also has numbness and sometimes burning and pain. Four months ago he found a sore on his foot, This is quite alarming. The body, especially when you age with diabetes, can often begin to fail in ways it did not before. Any foot symptom requires immediate doctor's care as it can lead to sores and even in some cases...amputation of limbs. Endocrinologists specialize in helping people with such problems and are often the last resort when they should be one of the first. Your Mom needs special shoes that are made to help alleviate some symptoms and medication. This medication will be determined by her doctor. In any case, ignoring these symptoms is the worse thing you can do. Please visit diabetes.org for more information. (

Are foot-sole blisters a pre-cursor to type 2 diabetic circulatory,hyper-insulism or imune system break-downs?
Seems my 45 year-old body is getting it's butt kicked by very common fungas invasions that attack at ever deeper levels. I want to stop it-yesterday! I'm very clean and very frustrated with common solutions. Any idea's will be try'ed!
----------
I am going to answer your question in 2 ways, because the wording makes it very ambiguous.
If you are asking if foot blisters and infections that don't seem to clear up are a precursor to type 2 diabetes, if they are symptoms... They can be. The only way to tell for sure is to get a glucose tolerance test. Then you can begin to get on a treatment plan that will help clear up those symptoms and prevent further circulatory or immune system breakdown.
If you are asking if foot blisters are a precursor to those complications and you already have type 2 diabetes... Then yes, they can be also. If you have had sustained high blood sugar, lack of circulation to the extremities is a common complication. Your immune system is also impacted by elevated blood sugar levels. It is said that only 40 grams of refined sugars can cause up to a full day of immune system impaction, even in healthy adults... Im not sure if theres been much research to back that up, but I have lived by only eating necessary carbs, and complex carbs and starches instead of refined sugars when sick and it always helps me get better that much more quickly. Placebo effect? Well, maybe anti-placebo, we are talking about less sugar, not more in pill form ;)
Prognosis, for either:
If its a fungal infection, it can be treated with anti-fungal creams. Bacterial can be treated with antibiotics. No matter how clean you are, it is best to trust the doctors to prescribe the correct medication to get rid of the problem. If you are Type 2 diabetic, you are much more susceptible to infection, so the effects caused by fungal infections or bacterial infections can seem worse than normal. Infections can easily spread and become systemic if not taken care of quickly.
If you are not Type 2, consider this as a possible precursor, but don't panic. It could very well be something else entirely. Its relatively quick and easy to get tested, for peace of mind, and for your own health and safety. If in doubt, ask a doctor! (

What can a diabetic do about foot blisters and calluses?
I am insulin resistent and I do wear cotton socks.
----------
Diabetics must be especially cautious with their feet, and should never attempt any invasive things like cutting cuticles or calluses on their own. They should be under a doctor's care for any procedure relating to the feet. They shouldn't soak their feet in hot water unattended, because they may have decreased sensation in their feet and get badly burned before they know it. They should not go to a salon or spa for any service unless they have discussed the particular facility and procedures with their doctor (and their doctor might not like the idea no matter how good the facility). Pedicures of any sort by anyone not suggested by the doctor are definitely out.
There are things that you can do to minimize the formation of calluses and blisters. Wash your feet often with gentle soap and pat them dry, making sure they are completely dry before you get dressed; damp feet can give you problems. Shoes should be roomy enough to allow comfort for the toes, but not so large that they slip. It's a good idea to avoid shoes with seams that can rub against any part of the foot. Shoes that tie (and can be adjusted) are preferable to slip-ons whenever possible. New shoes should be gently worn in the house for a while, and then you should take them off and examine your feet thoroughly for any signs of trouble. Be sure there isn't any trouble with them before you wear them away from home, and make the first few walks short ones, just in case. Some doctors insist on 100% cotton socks, but others favor blends with some of the new fibers that have been designed for foot protection. There are socks made specifically for diabetics that are helpful for some, but socks made by sporting goods companies designed for walking or light hiking are also an option. The toe seams are totally flat and soft, the fibers are non-abrasive, and they are designed to wick perspiration away from the foot, which minimizes friction (the cause of blisters). For extra protection, a very light-weight liner sock, made of silk or a similar man-made wicking fabric, can be worn under the socks, so that hardly any friction occurs against your skin as you walk. There are products that can protect your skin from blisters you can anticipate, (like the back of the heel problem from some new shoes) - tapes, silicone patches, moleskin, etc, - but it's best to ask your doctor about which ones she suggests, and also to get her recommendations about any creams, lotions, and powders you're considering using on your feet.
I'm sure you know that the better control you keep over your blood sugar, the more likely you are to heal well, and the better every other aspect of your health will be. Best of luck to you. (
