hi guys found out why me boys feet were hurting wasnt related to diabetes just walks funny🙂 chiropodist checked them out and said you need insoles made so might need a cast done on hes feet to get a mould for isole had this from birth hmm never picked up thought they checked all that oh well gettin soughted now inherited from me i think
 
It's a shame when things like this get missed in childhood. My daughter's legs are slightly different lengths and one of her hip cups is too shallow. It wasn't detected until adulthood, and she has terrible trouble in pregnancy as a result. That won't be an issue with your son, thank goodness!

One thing to say about orthotics (the things that fit into shoes): if they don't work out first time, do go back as many times as it takes to get them right. I had problems with mine, that were supposed to relieve pain from arthritis. Eventually they took a pair of my shoes, deconstructed them and put them back together with the inserts built in.
 
Good to hear he is getting it sorted 🙂 I think we all have some sort of problem, but they aren't always obvious - the inserts should be a big help 🙂
 
H has those insole things too- glad its sorted now
