Granny's gone and done it again

This is what the American Diabetes Association says about foot care:

Practice Good Daily Foot Care​

Wash your feet well every day but refrain from using hot water. Instead, use warm soapy water and be sure to check your feet for sores, cuts, blisters, corns, or redness. Dry your feet carefully and apply a gentle moisturizer. Take care to avoid moisturizing between your toes which can lead to infections.

How to Trim Your Toenails​

Keep toenails trimmed because long or thick nails can press on neighboring toes and cause open sores. Be sure to trim toenails straight across—cutting into the corners of nail can cause ingrown toenails. Finish by using an emery board to file down any sharp edges.

Choose the Right Footwear​

Avoid going barefoot, even in your home, to reduce the risk of injury. Wearing socks and shoes (or slippers at home) gives feet extra protection. Plus, moisture-wicking socks help keep your feet clean and dry.

Before putting your shoes on, check for any sharp objects like small rocks and wear shoes that fit properly without pinching your toes or rubbing against your feet. If your shoes aren’t comfortable, ask your doctor about special therapeutic shoes or inserts that may be right for you.

Get Moving​

Exercise is good for poor circulation. It stimulates blood flow in the legs and feet. Walk in sturdy, comfortable shoes that fit comfortably, but don't walk when you have open sores on your feet.

That get moving being a real key improvement if it isn't happening.
My mother and a sister passed away with diabetes. They weren't very active on their later years.

I appear to have been proved wrong on this, i was pretty certain, but real life seems to indicate its wrong since most of you al getting shingles had it before they invested the shot. Sorry for the misinformation.

I actually read up on it just now. You can get it from the shots! I didn't know. Interesting.

Either /or. It doesn't matter how the virus gets into your system, it can cause shingles either way. I posted about that last night.

Yes, I was off that most cases are from the shots though, that was my bad.

You're fine. I just hadn't heard of that, but makes sense after reading about it.
I feel like I should knock on wood after I type this..I haven't had Shingles.
