Done 🙂
 
Done. It’s interesting, since I was unfortunately forced to give up walking, I’ve got no hard skin at all on my feet. They’re just like a toddlers feet. You don’t need any of these Scholl foot thingies, just glide along in a wheelchair. Works wonders :D

This happened to me when I broke my femur - no proper walking for 6 months and my feet were really soft! Surprised me as I didn't know feet could get like that! 😱 🙂

Done, but the question about where you buy shoes didn’t allow me to choose more than one option, which means you will get a misleading result from me.

Yes I struggled with that one. Options were a bit prescriptive.

I had a problem with that one too, as the NHS make mine.

Completed. Good luck with the research. In 5 years I have had the norse look at my feet twice and that was just tapping underneath with a pencil and asking if I felt it. Thought it had to be more thorough than that?

I had to answer 'Anywhere' which is true - but I am extremely fussy with what I actually end up buying - so again you may get the impression I couldn't care less which is totally untrue!

Same here!

It absolutely should be @happydog! :( For a start, your feet should be checked at least once a year, plus they should check for sensitivity and also the strength of the pulses in your feet to make sure they are getting a good blood supply. You should insist on a full examination, it's the NHS's duty to you as a person with diabetes
