Hi,
I wondered if anyone can help me please. My dad has type 2 diabetes and has had it for around 16yrs. Recently he said his big toe folds under on one foot and he cannot feel it to straighten it back up, as a result he has started to stumble alot. It is really distressing. Can anybody suggest any help/advice/further prevention of this please?
He rang the doctor and she said (without seeing him) it is Arthritis, i dont believe it is, I'm sure it has to be related to the diabetes but as she said that he wont ring again (it took me months to get him to ring in the first instance) the diabetic nurse isnt holding appointments currently due to covid?
Many thanks
