Not to start a debate, MUCH LESS a fight, but the reason your docs
correctly tell you they will kill you if, as someone with diabetes you
go around with bare feet, is that circulatory complications, infections,
etc., in the feet are a VERY common problem in people with diabetes.
They're worried about cuts, scrapes, etc. leading to ulcerations,
leading to....(we won't go there). They are NOT panicked about the
common cold...:-)

Since i have diabetes, all my doctors tell me they will shoot me if I go
around with bare feet, no matter what the weather. The reasons are
many, but you get the idea.

no Gene's right, you get colds from walking with bare feet, temperature
determines if it's a winter or summer cold....the critical grey zone is
68-72 deg F.... my mother explained all this to me before I went to med
school... in med school they said the same thing... but did mention that
there are some other theories proposed by fringe elements.....Steve
