Question

My 72 year old husband has type 2 diabetes. The soles of his feet are very badly cracked and bleeding, and he is having trouble walking because of the soreness and pain. We cannot seem to find the right combination to help him. He is really in distress. What can my husband do?

Answer

The simplest answer is that he should see a podiatrist for advice. In the meantime, he can read diabetes and foot pain.
