From: ted rosenberg on 14 Nov 2008 21:42 Now that I am on Medicare, and have a good Special Needs Advantage {;an. I see a Podiatrist regularly For she most part, she now clips a nail or two and says "ell, your feet are looking great, keep it up" Last time she asked me If I had ever thought about Diabetic shoes. She said that Medicare now provides one pair a year. After getting authorization, she took molds of my feet and detailed measurements. I chose a pair from her catalog. They had extra vents and boxier toes for people with a history of foot ulcers, There were quite a large selection, and the ones I picked look similar to the shoes I normally wear, bit are supposed to be perfect fits, not approximate, like most shoes are. Haven't gotten them, nut I am looking forward to it. If you are on Medicare, and haven't gotten a pair. BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR ask your Podiatrist, or PCP and get some.
