Answer to Question 1

Because of the possibility of decreased sensation in their feet (diabetic neuropathy), possible poor eyesight (diabetic retinopathy), and sores that do not heal well, diabetic patients are advised to have foot care such as toenail trimming done by a professional such as a podiatrist and to avoid ill-fitting shoes.
