Common Diabetes Foot Problems And How To Prevent Them | Diabetesnet.com

I do have shiny feet which is a side effect of my PN. The skin on my feet is very thin, due to reduced blood supply. The vessels that move blood around in my feet don't get the enervation they need to work well.

Neuropathy Symptoms in the Feet | LIVESTRONG.COM

My feet have thin skin and cuts and wounds take months to heal.

I have profound Peripheral Neuropathy and need braces on both legs to walk and stand.

Hugs, and best wishes, ElaineD
