@contentandwell It is ironic, but I hope to find something that will help so that walking is possible again. At this point, I cannot even grocery shop, so my husband is having to do that in spurts. We'll get through this though my feet may not improve, My concern is the erratic blood numbers for my diabetes. I have researched and see that extreme heat definitely affects the numbers. We have had temps ten to fifteen degrees higher than the norm and even in in the house with AC it is still too warm. We just take it one day at a time.
Thanks for caring.
Carol

Hi @retiredteacher, I hope controlling your diabetes will help with your feet. I would think the blood sugars are effected by the foods consumed and the amount of exercise. Perhaps when the air temperature is warmer, a person is less likely to move around as much, thus the blood sugars will be higher. I also have a more difficult time when the weather is hotter. I do less as a result and have to take many breaks when doing things around the house. I do not have diabetes but I share the symptoms due to my AVM.
