Feet checks for diabetics

[Headers]

We have been seeing a podologue for a couple of years now.
OH is diabetic. We saw a different Podologue today who proposed a 10 week recurring appointment for OH as he is having problems. Great!
At the end we gave her the bank card which she refused. As he is ALD, CPAM pick up the tab.
Diabetis runs in his family - two of them have had foot amputations so I am very impressed that this service is available. Hopefully we can stop the nasty stuff before it begins.

OH is diabetic (another family trrait) but refuses to see my podoloogue, on the basis that our MT checks his feet every 3 months. Not the same, says I. He's also very deaf...

My OH wears hearing aids, strange how they seem to function better some times rather than other times.

Our monthly dinner gathering with us six English octogenarians is hilarious as the 3 lads all wear hearing aids and we get the conversation totally wrong to great amusement for the ladies. The answer, repetition-repetition- er what was that?

My wife has had diabetes and peripheral neuropathy for thirty years about 25 years ago she ended up in hospital with a stomach problem, but they put her on s diabetic ward overnight, just a look around at the some of the other patients ulcerated feet and missing toes, was enough to convince her never to get like that, every night she thoroughly checks and moisturises her feet before going to sleep, and the slightest problem she gets them looked at. In fact it is only recently she has been going to see a podologue regularly.

I don't have diabetes but I do have neuropathy and see the podologue 3-4 times a year. Age is a pig.
