Patient discussion about put in shoes. Q. The cobbler's shoes are never fixed A bit philosophical/ethical question: do you think it’s a appropriate to an alternative therapist to treat people with disease he or she has and can’t cure himself? A. In my opinion – yes. First of all, many treatments are technically impossible to be performed by the therapist on his or her own body. Moreover, it’s a common notion in many alternative medicine disciplines that different people respond differently to the same treatments, so it’s not unacceptable that the healer would suffer from a disease he or she claims to cure in others. Q. Why should people with diabetes wear shoes all the time? Earlier today I read an article about shoes and the different problems with different kinds of shoes. I can't find it anymore, which is why I didn't post the link. But in the article, it said that someone with diabetes or would likely eventually get diabetes should never go without shoes; whether inside or outside their house. Why would that be? A. Many people with diabetes have decreased circulation, which means slower healing time. Adding to this, many also have neuropathy (nerve damage) in their feet. I have seen many diabetics that have decreased sensation in their feet and didn't even know it. If you can't feel it when you injure your foot, and it doesn't heal, it can lead to infection and amputation. Shoes protect feet from injury, that is why we recommend wearing them at all times. For this reason, it is also recommended that diabetics inspect their feet each day. Read more or ask a question about put in shoesGood luck! How to thank TFD for its existence?
