The only time I go without something on my feet, is in and out of the

shower! I take a long time to heal!

diabetics and going barefoot

Hi all.

I have heard that people do not tend to run around their house barefoot.

They say it is not good to do because u might step on something that

hurts your feet ie causes an infection or problem.

I however go barefoot all the time anymore.

The only time I am not barefooted is when i go somewhere.

What do others have to say on this subject.

Btw, I do have a scar of my right foot but it is from the leg braces

that i ware to walk. Its a scar from 3 or 4 years ago. See one time i

was walking with at a theim park and my brace rubbed some of

the skin raw until it bled.

It healed up now and there is just a scar, but it doesn't bother me but

i just wish it wasn't there.

Anyway, i await your responses.

Lots of factors to consider. How often to you crash into things? What objects

are in your house which might cause serious injury to your feet? If you have

children--toddlers--and you've got small toys scattered around which are often

impossible to keep picked up, you might be more likely to step on something.

Also, how tough are your feet? How healthy are you? Getting a small cut on a

foot isn't necessarily a serious problem, unless you are really in poor diabetic

health. Do you have good circulation? If so, you're probably prone to heal

better. The same thing if you are younger, versus older.

I never go barefoot anymore either. I miss it in the summer but I'd rather have

shoes or sandals on my feet than to have a problem with my feet and not be able

to heal.

Hi, well I seem to be in pretty good shape now.

I don't have kids, yet, but i do want some but that is for another list.

But anyhow, my feet aren't that tough but there is nothing to step on

in this house really, nothing that would cause a problem anyway.

Hi , shold i say what I should or what I do? w well I go barefoot

much less than before I had diabetes. I try to remember, but round the

house I often go barefoot, and we have toys from grand kids but I got

used to that when my kids were little. I also take the dog out barefoot,

that would be me and dog barefoot, but keep near the driveway and put

him on a chain and go back in, so there isn't much that can happen.

Sometimes in the grass I take my shoes off in the summer, but I find

that wearing sandalls gives the same feeling of freedom and fresh air.

Hello ,

I had a terrible foot infection from a blister I got from wearing a pair of

Crox shoes. I almost lost my foot. But I have been type 1 since the age of

2, so I am very cautious of going barefoot except for the shower. I do walk

around my house sometimes, but I ask my husband to check for dog toys etc.

first. I certainly don't want to experience what happened to me a year ago!

Hi Scot:

I know from my diabetic doctor as well as the diabetic nurses here that i should

not walk barefoot. When I come home from being out

though, I can hardly wait to get those shoes and sox off. My feet feel like

they are burning and I just can't stand anything on my

feet. Even those thin little slippers are to much for my feet. Sometimes I

have to soak my feet in luke warm or cool water just to

make things barable. On the od occasion that my feet do get cold I will wear

sox. those times are few and far between though.

Anyone else have this problem or solutions for them?

yesterday is history. Tomorrow a mystery. Today is a gift, that is why it is

called the present.

I am a little scared. I have had tough skin on my heels for a long time and

never thought about it much. But after finding out I was a diabetic last

June, it has been burning and hurting and when the skin peels it does not

heal right. Dr. said it looked like pink skin in there and it

didn't look like anything to worry about. When he had my ankle and leg and

foot X-rayed in September he said it was arthritis.

He just gave me tramadol or however you spell it for pain and swelling. I

have tried to keep footies on my feet and sometimes it keeps the skin softer

and sometimes I put cream on there. But it sometimes really hurts and it

scares me because i hear all these horror stories of people losing feet. I

know I have gone barefoot almost all the time and I should not have.

We never go anywhere and in the last year the only time I went out was to go

to lunch with my daughter and my friend. We plan to go about twice a year

because it is a nice break for me and about the only time I spend with the

girl firend and daughter too.

Dr. told me to have my son wash out 's stomach where he has

the feeding tube with 50 percent wter and 50 percent peroxide. Would that

work with me soaking my foot in that? Or would the pain be too much to

bear. I wonder if I should wrap up the foot? I did last July some and it

helped a little. Maybe I am being fearful and making too much of it. but I

would have thought it would have gotten much better by now. The area has

spread some too. It is going behind my heel a little besides underneath the

bottom. And of course I have the problem of leaving home if I had to go to

a foot doctor because someone has to monitor .

I used to have that, it was an old cure for many things and you could even

drink it in water as a laxative. I have not had that around for a while or

cannot find what I did have.

I once had insoles made and found my feet burned as you mentioned. I found out

that the soles were made from plastic. this causes the feet to burn. so

seriously look at what your shoes or materials that touch the bottoms of your

feet. cheap shoes would do this to me.

By the time I was six years old I learned how to prevent loosing toe nails.

There is nothing more excrutiatingly painful than running into a root, stump or

rock, and having it almost knock off your toenail, but not quite. Then It had

to be pulled the rest of the way off by hand or pliars.For me wearing shoes

stopped all of those accidents.

Same here, I hate doing anything barefoot except for taking a shower. And

now that I am a Diabetic, although I don't suffer from neuropathy, I don't

want to risk it. There's nothing I hate more than stubbing my toe, or

stepping on some sort of unknown object.

It sounds like you have bad calluses on your heels. When they crack, they

take a long time to heel. You could use some softening cream put on a

couple times of day and then wear a soft slipper to protect the heels.

Soaking them in Epson's salt (not a strong solution) followed by the cream

would help those calluses soften up and eventually go away. It would be

better for you to see a podiatrist, but I understand the circumstances.
