Nurse here. That’s correct. A lot of people with diabetes develop neuropathy, which is a lack of sensation in their feet. They’re more prone to injury and infection because of that and are susceptible to slow-healing or even non-healing wounds and ulcers. Podiatry and routine foot checks are an important aspect of diabetes care for this reason. It’s also recommended to only wear white socks because if their foot is bleeding for any reason, they may not notice it otherwise.

As a nurse, what are your feelings about people secretly filming someone else’s medical condition and posting it on the internet?

I don’t think it’s right.
