Martin, a former painter decorator, is 50 and lives in Scarborough, North Yorkshire. He’s lived with diabetes for over a decade, but a diagnosis of Charcot foot two years ago has had life-changing effects. We spoke to him in June 2024 about the impact that Charcot foot has had on his life. Read Martin's story legsmatter.org/information-a… #diabetes #charcotfoot
