Question: I'd like to ask what would cause large blood blisters on the bottom of my sister's feet. Can you help, please?

Thank you Dr. Asmeet. My sister is morbidly obese (400+ lbs). Diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes 2-3 yrs ago. She's been in a wheelchair for at least the last year. She has broken one of her ankles in that amount of time. I'm sure with that amount of weight to carry, it would be difficult at best to get around. It seems like a rapid progression to neuropathy, though. I was a type 1 diabetic for 42 years before experiencing kidney problems. I received a kidney/pancreas transplant 10 yrs. ago but neuropathy began in my hands and feet just 5 or 6 yrs. ago. I take neurontin now. Can you clarify for me the seriousness of my sister's condition? If she is not urinating without the aide of a catheter, are her kidneys failing? I did not have symptoms myself. It took breaking my leg and an "overnight stay" in the hospital for pain management to reveal I only had 10% of my kidney function remaining.

Thank you Dr. Asmeet. It seems I need to make a number of calls to XXXXXXX TX in the morning. I guess it's time to go home for a visit with my sisters. Thanks for being candid with me Dr. Asmeet.
