foot stuff

[rossi_mac]

For once I actually read an email about diabetes from diabetes.co.uk I think.

There appeared an advert to the side about a foot insole thats good for circulation it's called Liqua Care FlowGel Insoles, so you clever lot how worthwhile would something like that be? I have no signs of feet issues, but I walk around barefoot and climb ladders in the garden for not hours but a while and sometimes my feet or rather toes can appear numb for a period. A few winters ago my big toes were numb for a couple of months as I was up a ladder in the rain in flip flops for many an evening/weekend.

Any comments gratefully received.

Expensive .... I can't argue with what they say about oxygenated blood getting to the extremities and all that, but dunno really whether they would improve your circulation in the first place. What if your circ was 100% anyway? wouldn't increasing it just make you feet throb?

Scholl or someone does a thing that goes under the front of your tootsie - "Party Feet" are they called? - designed with us girlies in mind wearing high heels and boogeying, all the weight on yer balls, can be very painful when you eventually sit down. Now they don't claim they prevent ulcers, but they do actually help them not ache quite so much and there's no reason you couldn't stick em in flat shoes.

Much cheaper than ?30 !

And Rossi - that was pretty daft wasn't it? I know it's tempting in the rain. And doing stuff like that all his life is having its revenge on my husband right now, with his knackered knees and sleepless nights in pain. He's not diabetic just a normal bloke that did jobs on the house etc all his life. Now we have jobs that need doing I can't get someone to do them because Pete won't pay because he can do it. Except he can't and doesn't accept it ......
