No it's not foot-ware! 🙄 The leaflet I was reading from is for West Sussex NHS so might not (yet) be available in other areas but worth finding out if this intereste you. Mum in law works at a surgerey as a Dr receptionist so she picked up the leaflet at her practice which is available to patients so maybe ask at your local GP. Or have a look a your local council website as its broken down into different areas this way.
I have to add (as I dont want to be accused of miss-leading) its not just for diabetics but for anyone with or without medical issues.
Hope it helpssomeone I am going to ask my GP tomorrow and sign up next week!
Thanks 🙂
