Hello,
I have a Braun Infra thermometer which I use at home to compare my two feet and it reads 5-7 degrees above the professional hospital one. I can carry on using the Braun and just deduct 5-7 each time but does anyone know of an accurate thermometer for home use on the feet? Many thanks.
 
I’m not sure if @Flower monitors her foot temperature as part of her Charcot Foot management?

Have you called Braun customer services and asked them about the discrepancies you have noticed? They may be able to offer some advice?
 
Hi @Pppatrick , I hope you’ve got some helpful advice on using your thermometer from Braun. I don’t use a thermometer on my Charcot foot as I’ve had it for 25 years and unless it gets infected I don’t need to monitor it that way.
