Q: I was recently diagnosed with diabetes and I understand I need to be very attentive to the care of my feet and legs. What precautions should I be taking? A: The American Diabetes Association notes that about 29 million people in the United States have diabetes, and to these people, foot problems are a huge risk.

Q: When I wear certain kinds of shoes, I feel pain in my knees and hips. Someone suggested I need orthotics in my shoes. How can that help? A: Some shoes, but not all of them, don’t offer the support you need to keep your body properly aligned when your feet hit the ground. You may feel pain any number of places in your lower extremities, such as your heels, your ankles, your knees, or your hips, and sometimes the pain can be delayed for a few hours so you can’t immediately see the cause and effect between the shoes and your discomfort.
