Hello @Christina 54321 , welcome to the forum.
TBH I don’t know but if you have reduced sensation in your feet personally I would be wary. However others here may know different.

Feel free to ask any questions you might have re diabetes, we’ll do our best to help

Hi Christina, welcome to the forum 🙂 A lot of these sorts of devices carry 'catch-all' exclusions for people with diabetes, but it would depend on whether you have any particular problems with your feet as to whether they actually present a problem. Have you been diagnosed long, and do you have any problems with your feet? I'd recommend asking your nurse or GP for advice before purchasing as they will be most familiar with your situation. Personally, my feet have good circulation with no loss of sensitivity, so I wouldn't be put off.
 
Hi I have been told I have neuropathy in my legs and do wear compression stockings due to having leg ulcers about 6 yrs ago. I've been diabetic about 15yrs
