My Father in law who is Type 2 diabetic just started to feel tingling and numbness in his feet. His Mom is Type 2 also and had a leg amputated. I am so worried about his feet. I worry abou Troy's feet too. I used to be more cautious after reading this article I will go back to being overly cautious. At the end of the night I had a good routine of inspecting his feet and rubbing them down with lotions. I would massage his feet until he fell asleep. I need to go back to that routine. On my head board I have a collection of oils and lotions and neosporin and nail clippers for him. I need to use them again. I have been tending to a head injury that he got at Grandmas on the 4th of July- 10 stitches but that is no excuse to forget about his feet. From head to toe I will go.
