I am a diabetic and have just been diagnosed
with peripheral neuropathy. Is there anything I can do to prevent worsening of
my disease?
Asides from controlling your blood sugars, I
highly recommend that you protect your feet. This is vital. Most people neglect
their feet. For diabetics and those with peripheral neuropathy, shoes that
provide good protection are vital. You certainly do not need the $1,000 pair of
shoes sold at the podiatrist run shoe store. Just go to any decent shoe store
and get a pair that fits right and is sturdy. Some podiatrists and orthopedic
doctors have turned the shoe industry into one big scam- screwing the insurance
companies and patients out of millions of dollars each year.
