What Causes Blisters On Both Feet And Heel Inpite Of Being Diabetic?
My husband is 66 years old. He recently found out he has diabetes. He also had 2 blockages in his left leg that were surgically removed. He's been getting blisters on both feet,one on the heel has black areas but is slowly healing. He went for a short walk yesterday and today he has another blister. He wears flip flops. What can we do to prevent more blisters?

Hi, thanks for using HCM
first get his blood sugar test done to weather his blood sugar level is under control. Diabetic shoe or slipper available, made up of soft material to avoid trauma to foot.
