See a podiatrist: When you have diabetic neuropathy and there is a problem with your foot. Always play it safe. Since you can't feel you lose one of your "protection senses". Let the podiatrist be your "protection".

Type 2 Diabetes: Yes. Any time there is neuropathy, there is small blood vessel disease. This means that the circulation in your feet is impaired. Injuries can turn into infections and ulcerations. See a podiatrist.
