True or False
Because i am diabetic do i have to see a foot health professional ?
FALSE : if you are able to manage to care for your feet and know what signs to look for and go and see your GP should something happen or any changes to your feet, then you are ok to cut your nails yourself.
I've been told i cant eat fruit if i am a diabetic?
FALSE: You are able to eat everything in moderation. Ie not a whole pallet of grapes at one go but a handful 3 times a day ie 9am 12pm and 7pm would be fine. If you eat them all in one go your glucose would go high in your blood.
