Many people don’t understand the seriousness of diabetes. It can affect many health issues down the road. There are many diabetes websites that can also answer questions for you. You may need to get a blood glucose monitor also to check his sugar several times a day. My boyfriend is suffering from it and it’s a real burden. How can he make it go away. is it all about the food he puts in his mouth. has anyone else watched it but me. What’s the thing with having diabetes and flights. I heard that I might have problems with my feet and I should buy special socks. I cannot answer anything about the “flights”, but I can really attest to diabetes and feet pain. A lot of diabetics get what is called “Charcot foot”. I have that now and am NOT diabetic, although I am learning that if a specific blood test called a “Hemoglobin A1C” is elevated, then it may be helpful to go thru the whole realm of glucose challenge tests, etc, just to have everything checked out. However, it is predominantly diabetics who suffer with Charcot foot. I am learning that in the beginning of the advanced stages, except for putting orthotics in your shoes, there is not too much that can be done, except soaking the feet (no more than 10 minutes a day in warm water only), wear good socks and perhaps get orthotics for your shoes. Initially I found a Sport/Ski shop that sold orthotics to put in ski boots that really helped, but now it is getting a little more complicated. It does affect 1 in about 2,500 people.
