Dick under your circumstances Id be very careful. I had a friend with diabetes who lost his toes , then his foot and now his lower leg. I would get some thermal socks and boots pronto

That was my second thought, and why I've stayed out of the workshed for the rest of the day. I think that walking would be OK (it has been up to now), but it's standing in one place for an hour, basically, which caused the problem.
Also my BG levels have been erratic due to an infection, so double whammy.
It's quite surprising how much diabetes impinges on your life. I would advise anyone not to get it - not a joke - lose weight, be active, eat healthily. I had the warning signs and didn't take enough action to prevent it.

Been out with the dog in 4in. thick snow for the past two-days and made feet don't get wet or cold! 8) Although they're not steel-toed, I wear them in the workshop now as they're warmer than my Dickies boots.
