This is a really good video. I can relate to this. The second year after being learning I was diabetic I got something in the heel of my foot. I tried to see if I could get what ever out. I couldn't figured it will work its way out. Went to work at the end of the day I could not walk. My 3rd oldest took me to urgent care.My heel was the size of a softball. Th Dr. drained it never found what was in it. and put me on oral and topical antibiotics. I have since not taken my feet for granted. I wish someone had made sure I understood how important foot care is. Thanks

BarryE, you've done it again! Since last night, when I watched, "take care of your feet" and now this video, I'm making an all out effort to take care of my feet since I'm a type II diabetic. After watching the video last night, I realized that the infection that had my big toe throbbing was nothing to ignore. I saw my doctor today, and she put me on two antibiotics. I shutter to think what could have happened if you hadn't made the informative video available to us.

You're the best BarryE. Keep it up!

This video was very informative. I have neuropathy too. I have numbness in my toes and the arch of my feet, but I also have numbness in my fingers. I have my feet checked by my doctor regularly. Nothing I have taken helps the numbness. I really appreciate the information in this video. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
