Lost 2 toes and several foot bones on my right foot still have small sore on the bottom keeping it in check is a daily thing

Lost my left leg last year to just below the knee the infection snuck up on me through calluses lost the whole bottom of my foot before the amputation

diabetes is very hard to keep under control when your pancreas doesn’t work right diet and exercise help some people not all never was a sweet eater or a soda drinker

ive had kidney cancer most likely caused by diabetes so they say we got it before it metastasized so i only lost 1/3 of my kidney

All i can tell folks is don’t let the calluses build up on your feet AT ALL and don’t clip your toenails to short keep your feet clean and believe it or not if you live near the ocean wading through the ocean everyday will cut down on sores greatly because it will put minerals back into your skin

rub your legs massage them or have a loved one massage them every day to keep the circulation working well because stagnant water in your legs will cause Cellulitis which if not kept under control or gone completely can kill you because it will spread throughout your body quickly !!

Be safe out there
